Do you love wax melts but hate the messy cleanup? Scraping old, stuck wax out of your burner can be a chore especially when you’ve been busy working, sorting out the kids and the house and then theres the additional task at the end of a busy day scraping out a melt so you can finally relax. We have found a simple trick that saves so much time, frustration and keeps your burner looking new.
The Silicone Liners Secret
The hack is easy. Just pop a small silicone cupcake liner into your burner dish. Place your wax melt inside the liner. The heat still melts the wax perfectly and the scent fills your room just like before.
Why You’ll Love It
The best part is the cleanup. When the scent is gone, let the wax get hard. You can then lift the liner out and pop the solid wax disc right into the bin. It takes only seconds. It does the usual frustrating job into no mess, no scraping and no faff.
If you use a tea light burner, make sure the liner is not too big. It should never hang over the edge. If you like to change scents often simply swap one liner for another and switch back and forth between them (only once the wax has hardened to avoid wax spills on your furniture).
A No-Melt Wax Alternative
If you want to skip the wax mess altogether, you should try scented sizzlers. These are scented salt crystals that release a great smell but never melt into a liquid. When you are done, you just tip the dry crystals into the bin, no wax pool, easy to clean if spilled and no need for cupcake liner hacks. It is the easiest way to keep your home smelling fresh!
