Wax On, Wax Off: How to Use a Candle Warmer to Get the Most Out of Your Candles!


Have you ever burned a candle down to the bottom, only to be left with a waxy mess that just won't budge? Don't wax nostalgic for your old candle just yet! With a candle warmer, you can melt away your troubles and keep your candles burning bright.


A candle warmer is like a tiny hot tub for your candle. Just pop your candle on the warmer plate and let the gentle heat melt away the wax, releasing the sweet scent without the need for an open flame. But did you know that you can also use a candle warmer to remove leftover wax in a candle? It's true!

Here's how to wax lyrical with your candle warmer:

  1. Put your candle on the warmer plate, making sure it's stable and not wobbly like a drunk candle.

  2. Switch on the candle warmer and let the heat do its thang, melting the wax down to liquid form.

  3. Once the wax has liquefied, use a paper towel or cloth to gently wipe away the remaining wax like you're giving your candle a spa treatment.

  4. If there's still some wax left, don't worry, just repeat the process until your candle holder is clean and shiny.


Using a candle warmer to remove leftover wax is a smart way to keep your candles burning bright and your house smelling delightful. You can reduce waste, reuse your favorite candle holders, and continue to enjoy the fragrance of your candle even after the wick has burned down.


So, the next time you're feeling stuck with a stubborn wax mess, don't throw in the towel! Grab your trusty candle warmer and melt away those wax woes. With this handy trick, you'll be waxing poetic in no time!
