Wax Melts CPL & Safety

Wax Melt Safety Guide

Wax melts are a popular and eco-friendly way to enjoy fragrance in your home, but it’s important to follow proper safety guidelines to avoid risks such as burns, fire hazards, and potential health issues. Here's a safety guide for using our wax melts:

Use Only Approved Wax Melt Burners

  • Correct Burner Type: Always use a proper wax melt burner designed for the specific type of wax melts you’re using. These can either be electric warmers or tealight-powered burners.
  • No Direct Flame: Never place wax melts directly on an open flame. This can be a fire hazard and may cause the wax to overheat.
  • Sturdy Base: Ensure the burner has a stable base and won’t easily tip over.

Keep Wax Melts Away from Heat Sources

  • Avoid Overheating: Never leave wax melts in a burner for extended periods of time (typically no more than 4 hours), and ensure the burner is not overheating.
  • Keep Away from Flammable Materials: Do not place the burner near curtains, papers, or any other flammable materials.
  • Room Ventilation: Use wax melts in well-ventilated areas, as prolonged use may lead to a buildup of fragrance oils.

Proper Placement

  • On a Heat Proof Surface: Always place your wax melt burner on a heat proof surface (e.g., a ceramic, glass, or metal tray) to protect your furniture from heat damage.
  • Out of Reach of Children and Pets: Keep wax melts and burners out of reach of young children and pets to prevent accidents such as burns or ingestion.

Never Leave Unattended

  • Supervision: Never leave a burning wax melt unattended. Always monitor the wax melt while it’s in use.
  • Turn Off When Not in Use: If using an electric burner, make sure to turn it off when you’re done. If using a tealight burner, allow the candle to burn out naturally or extinguish the flame when you’re finished.

Wax Melt Storage

  • Cool, Dry Place: Store wax melts in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and excessive heat. Heat can cause the wax to soften and lose its fragrance.
  • Sealed Containers: Keep wax melts in airtight containers to preserve their fragrance and avoid contamination from dust or debris.

Be Mindful of Allergens

  • Check the Ingredients: Some wax melts contain fragrance oils or essential oils that could trigger allergies or sensitivities. Always check the ingredients list and avoid products with known allergens if necessary.
  • Ventilate the Room: Ensure your room is well-ventilated when using wax melts, especially if you are sensitive to strong scents or chemicals.

Disposal of Used Wax

  • Allow Wax to Cool: Once the wax has cooled, carefully remove it from the burner. Never attempt to remove hot wax, as it could cause burns.

Fire Safety

  • Always Extinguish: If using a tea light candle in a wax melt burner, make sure to extinguish the candle once you’re done. Always have a fire extinguisher or water source nearby when using open flames.

Avoid Ingestion or Skin Contact

  • Do Not Ingest: Wax melts should never be ingested. If accidentally consumed, seek medical advice immediately.
  • Skin Contact: Avoid prolonged skin contact with melted wax. If you spill wax on your skin, allow it to cool, then remove it carefully.

Special Considerations for Electric Burners

  • Use Only in Dry Areas: Always use electric wax melt warmers in dry, safe areas. Never use near water sources (such as sinks, tubs, or showers).
  • Check Wiring and Power Cords: Regularly check the power cords and electrical connections for signs of wear or damage to avoid electric shocks or fire risks.
