How to Clean Your Wax Melt Burner After Using Gel Melts – The Easy Way!
If you're a fan of gel wax melts (and if you're not yet, you’re missing out!), you already know they pack a serious scent punch. But once that luxurious fragrance fades, you might wonder—how do I clean my wax melt burner without the mess? Don’t worry! Cleaning a burner after using gel melts is way easier than traditional wax melts, and we’re here to show you how.
Why Gel Melts Are Different
Unlike regular wax melts, which harden and stick stubbornly to the burner, gel melts stay soft and peel away effortlessly. This means no more scraping, chipping, or using excessive force just to switch scents. Traditional wax melts can be a nightmare—leaving behind hardened residue that requires soaking, scraping, or even freezing just to remove. They also tend to create build-up over time, dulling the look of your burner and affecting scent throw.
Step-by-Step Guide to Cleaning Your Wax Melt Burner
What You’ll Need:
✔️ Absoulutely nothing!
1. Let It Cool Down
Before you attempt to remove the used gel melt, ensure your burner has completely cooled. This will make handling safer and prevent burns.
2. Peel It Like Magic!
One of the best things about gel wax melts is their satisfying peel. Simply grab the edge of the gel and slowly lift—it should come off in one smooth piece! Unlike traditional wax melts, which can break into messy chunks or leave behind a sticky layer, gel wax melts make cleanup effortless.
