Notes
- Always use caution when using your wax melts. Hot wax can cause serious burns, so keep it out of reach of children and allow the wax to cool completely before moving your wax warmer.
- Be sure to wipe all of the wax out of your double boiler with a paper towel. Wax will clog up the sink drains.
- Instead of a double boiler, you can use a glass bowl set atop a pot of boiling water.
- You can extend the life of your wax melts by adding a few drops of essential oils to the wax as your scent starts to fade.
- Adjust the amount of essential oils for your preference. More oils will give a stronger scent.
