Soy Wax Melts
Wax Melts Candles
Soy wax melts are small, scented pieces of wax that can be used to fill your home with fragrance without a lighted candle wick. They are also known as Wax Melts Candles. Typically, they are,
- flameless, safer to use around children and pets.
- less messy than candles, no wax dripping or wick to clean up.
- last longer than candles, only need to be heated until the wax is melted.
- more affordable than candles, as they can be reused multiple times.
Wax melts come in various shapes, sizes, colours and scents, and can be melted using either an electric or a tealight wax melt burner.
FelinFach Soy Wax Melts and Wax Melts Burners
All FelinFach wax melts are hand poured in Pembrokeshire, Wales, UK with plant-based soy wax or a soy wax and coconut blended wax. We do not use Paraffin wax - there are no exceptions to this!! All our Wax Melts Burners require an unscented tealight to warm the wax melts. A tealight and wax melt together combines the convenience of a wax melt with the flame flickering ambience of a tealight.

5 Tips on How to Use a Soy Wax Melt
-
Select a Wax Melts Burner
A wax melts burner is a device designed to melt wax melts safely and release their fragrance into the air. There are different types of warmers available, including electric warmers and tea light-powered warmers. Choose one that suits your needs.

Prepare the Wax Melts Burner
If you're using an electric wax warmer, plug it into a suitable outlet and switch it on. For tea light-powered warmers, place an unscented tea light candle in the designated compartment and light it. Remove the wax melt from its packaging and place it on the wax warmer's dish or bowl. Ensure that the dish is clean and free from any residual wax.
-
Warm the Wax
Allow the wax warmer to heat up and melt the wax slowly. As the wax melts, it will release its fragrance into the room. Be patient and avoid rushing the process by turning up the heat too high, as it may diminish the fragrance or cause the wax to evaporate quickly.
-
Enjoy the Fragrance
Once the wax has melted, the fragrance will permeate the air. Enjoy the pleasant aroma that fills your space. Wax melts can provide several hours of fragrance, depending on the brand and the size of the melt.
-
Replacing and Cleaning
Over time, the wax melt will lose its fragrance. When you're ready to replace it, allow the wax to cool and solidify. You can then remove the wax from the warmer either by gently tapping it or by using a spoon to scoop it out. Dispose of the used wax properly. If there is any residual wax left in the dish, you can clean it with a paper towel or a cloth once it has cooled down.

Soy Wax Melts - Safety Tips
There are a few simple safety tips to follow when using soy wax melts:
- Always use a wax melter designed for wax melts. Do not use a candle warmer or a hot plate to melt wax melts. These devices can get too hot and cause the wax to catch fire.
- Never leave an electric wax melter unattended. If you must leave the room, turn off the wax melter or unplug it.
- Keep wax melts out of reach of children and pets. Wax melts can be a choking hazard for young children, and they can also cause burns to pets if they ingest them.
- Do not place wax melts near anything that can catch fire. This includes curtains, furniture, and bedding.
- Do not melt wax melts for more than 4 hours at a time. This can cause the wax to overheat and catch fire.
