Making the most of your Candle Melt:
Each
melt should last approximately 25 hours,
after that you will be left with
unscented or mildly scented wax and it is
time to change your melt. The easiest
method to change the melt, is to put the
whole oil burner in the fridge for 15mins to
make the wax shrink then it will pop out
with your fingernail of a knife (read below
for full instructions).
Simply place a tealight in the lower section
and pop your candle melt in the bowl at the
top, then light your tealight.
As the
heat from the tealight melts the candle
tart, the essential oils will be released.
When you have finished using the
melt, extinguish the tealight and allow
the melt to set.
You can keep using the melt until you feel
the essential oils have all evaporated.
(I test this by going outside then returning
to the room to detect any aromas.) To
dispose of the melt or to change it for
something else , simply put the whole oil
burner in the fridge.
Leave for 15minutes or so , allowing time
for the wax to shrink. It should then
pop out easily with a knife.
I normally melt mine for about 2 hours and
if I want to change the melt I store it
tightly wrapped in a freezer bag to
keep the oil s in. You can however,
just keep
re-using the same melt until the aromas have
ceased; then pop in the fridge to ease
removal. Treat yourself and have
different oil burners for different rooms or
purposes
If using your own oil burner , check
to make sure the bowl is deep enough , you
can always cut the melt in two with a knife
if you think it is too large for the depth
of your oil burner.
Please handle the melts with care as
essential oils are strong and in some people
can cause allergies. Do not allow
young children to handle the melts or
pregnant women without first consulting with
a medical professional or midwife.
Please read the safely instructions before using
candles and candle tarts. Although I
am not a fan of "health and safety blurbs"
since if you take responsibility it
shouldn't be necessary, I am required to
state the obvious by law and if this
makes someone think twice about where they
place a candle to prevent a fire, then I
suppose that's fine by me!

use a candleholder that is non-flammable and
capable of containing any wax spillage.
Keep the pool of wax clear of matches and
other debris to avoid flaring. Only use tea
