The most common type uses the heat from a flame to melt the wax and typically the heat source for this is a tealight. These wax burners are usually made of ceramic material, are cheap to buy and are widely available. Once a burning tealight is placed inside the burner, the heat from the flame warms the burner’s dish which melts the wax. Tealights will burn for about four hours which is usually plenty of time to let the fragrance do its work.

It really is a matter of personal taste and preference as everyone is different. However, you will be able to tell when your wax melt is losing its scent because the fragrance will become weaker and less pronounced. Just trust your nose! What is the difference between a wax melt and a candle? Once the scented oils in a wax melt have evaporated then the wax melt will no longer smell as strongly. The time this takes to happen will vary on the size of the wax melt, the intensity of the heat from your burner and other factors.Another natural alternative is palm wax which is made from hydrogenated palm oil. Although this can be produced in a sustainable and ecologically-friendly way, this is not always the case. In fact there is a great deal of controversy over the farming of palm oil as it has been one of the main contributors to large scale deforestation. Once the burner is cool, the wax will solidify in the dish ready to be used again. Usually a single wax melt will be enough, but this can be topped up with a second if your burner is big enough and a stronger fragrance is required. If your room is large then we recommend using two or maybe even three burners placed around the room rather than trying to overfill a single wax burner. How do wax melts work? The major difference between a wax melt and a candle is that with a scented candle only a relatively small amount of wax is melted at any one time while the candle is alight. With a wax melt, once your burner has warmed up, the whole wax melt is liquid. Making sure you use only high quality wax melts made from plant-based wax will ensure that your wax melts are environmentally safe, and following our top ten tips for candle safety will go a long way to keeping yourself, your family and your home safe.

Depending on the size of your room and the movement of the air, you may only need to use your burner for one or two hours at a time.

Your wax melt will slowly turn to liquid wax as the wax burner warms up. The scented oils that are mixed with the wax are volatile, so as the wax is warmed, the gentle heat will cause the oils to evaporate—filling your room with a wonderful fragrance. For this reason many people prefer to use wax melts over scented candles. Wax melts are capable of delivering a more intense fragrance in a shorter time. What are the different types of wax burner? As you’re aware, wax burners create an inviting atmosphere in spaces like a home or office. The warm glow and pleasant scent will make your space a welcoming place for the senses, especially your sense of smell.To use a wax melt, simply place it in the dish of the burner and then either place the lit tealight underneath, or if you have an electric burner, turn it on.
