Wax Melt Safety: Dos & Don’ts

Stay Safe: Essential Wax Melt Dos & Don’ts

Dos

• Use correct wattage: Electric warmers between 20–25 W prevent overheating.
• Supervise burns: Never leave a tealight warmer lit in an empty room.
• Position high: Keep melts out of paw and finger reach – a bookshelf works well.
• Allow cooling time: Let wax set before moving the dish.

Don’ts

• Mix water in: This causes spitting.
• Use outdoor candles inside: Their flames sit too high for indoor dishes.
• Tip wax down the sink: It solidifies in pipes.
• Burn for 8 hours straight: Fragrance oils degrade and can smell burnt.
