Elevate Your Wax Melting Experience

At Crum Canoe Candle Co., we view wax melts as more than just fragrance—they’re an experience to be savored. Here are some expert tips to help you make the most of your wax melts, from achieving the perfect melt to crafting a beautifully aromatic environment.

Things to Consider for Wax Melts

• Fragrance Strength: The type of wax and concentration of fragrance oils can impact how well a wax melt scents a room.
• Room Layout: Open-plan rooms or spaces with high ceilings may require multiple wax warmers or more wax melts for even fragrance distribution.
• Melting Time: The longer a wax melt is warmed, the better it can spread fragrance throughout the space.
• Room Size: For an average-sized room (8x10), a 2oz wax melt typically provides enough scent throw. Larger spaces or open-concept areas may require additional wax melts or warmers to achieve the desired fragrance level.

Choose the Right Warmer
Ensure you're using a wax warmer specifically designed for wax melts. Using the correct warmer ensures even melting and optimal fragrance throw. Here are two popular warmer types:

• Electric Warmers:Convenient and safe with adjustable heat settings.
• Tealight Warmers: Requires an open flame, so never leave them unattended.

Don't Overfill
Use the recommended amount of wax melts based on the size of your warmer. Overfilling can lead to spillage and reduce the effectiveness of the scent.

Clean Your Warmer Regularly
After the scent has faded, allow the wax to cool and harden before removing it. Clean the warmer with warm water and a plant-based soap to remove any residue. This helps maintain the integrity of the fragrances and the warmer.

Break Wax Melts into Smaller Pieces
For a gradual release of scent, break larger wax melts into smaller pieces. This can help prolong the fragrance duration and prevent overwhelming scents.

Monitor Melting Time
Avoid leaving your wax warmer on for extended periods. Instead, melt the wax for 3-4 hours at a time. This preserves the scent and ensures safety.

Experiment with Fragrance Combinations
Mix different wax melts to create your own unique fragrance blends. This can add a personal touch to your space and make your scent experience more enjoyable.

Use in Appropriate Room Sizes
Wax melts are designed for small to medium-sized rooms. If you want to scent a larger space, consider using multiple warmers to achieve the desired fragrance level.

A 2oz wax melt can typically fill a small to medium-sized room with fragrance. For example, it can effectively scent an area like an 8x10 bedroom, office, or bathroom. However, in larger spaces or rooms with an open floor plan, the scent might not be as strong or noticeable. If you're looking to fragrance a larger area, you might need to use multiple wax warmers or consider a higher quantity of wax melts to achieve the desired scent level.

Never Leave Unattended
Always supervise your wax warmer while in use. Turn it off before leaving the room or going to bed to ensure safety.

Store Wax Melts Properly
Natural wax melts typically have a shelf life of about 12 months. To ensure they retain their fragrance and effectiveness, store them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Proper storage helps maintain their scent and quality, so you can enjoy a delightful aroma experience every time you use them.

Enjoy the Experience
Scented wax melts can enhance your environment and mood. Take a moment to enjoy the scents and the ambiance they create in your space.
