How to Use & Care for Wax Melts and Wax Tarts | Oceanista – Eco-Friendly Tips

Welcome to Oceanista's Wax Melt Care Guide! Our coastal-inspired wax melts bring serenity to your space. Follow these eco-friendly tips to safely use, store, and dispose of your wax melts for maximum scent and safety.

How to Use Wax Melts and Wax Tarts Safely

  • Room Size: Larger rooms need more wax melts or wax tarts for a strong scent. Allow 10-20 minutes for full melting in a well-ventilated area.
  • Warmer Capacity: Avoid overfilling to prevent spills. Check your warmer’s limits.
  • Preparation: Remove all packaging before melting.
  • Approved Warmers: Use tea-light or UL-listed electric warmers designed for wax melts and wax tarts. Follow warmer instructions.
  • Safe Melting: Do not melt on stoves or unapproved appliances.
  • Supervision: Never leave melting wax unattended, especially around children or pets.

Step-by-Step Wax Melt and Tart Application

  • Select Warmer: Choose a wax melt warmer (tea-light or electric) designed for safe melting.
  • Add Wax: Break off 1 oz of wax or use 2-3 small melts/tarts. Add without water or oil.
  • Power Up: Plug in electric warmers safely, avoiding cord hazards. Set a timer if no auto-shutoff (max 4 hours).
  • Time Management: Limit burning to 4 hours max. Turn off and unplug when finished.
  • Reuse Smartly: Reuse until scent fades, then replace with fresh wax.

Wax Melt and Tart Storage Secrets

  • Faint Scent: Ensure full melt and adjust wax amount for room size.
  • Wax Spill: Cool, scrape, and clean with soapy water.
  • Wax on Skin: Rinse with cool water and gently peel off.
