Gather Your Supplies

Before you begin, assemble the following supplies:

Unplug and Cool Down

Remove Wax Residue

1. Gently scrape off any leftover wax using a plastic or wooden tool. Be careful not to scratch the burner's surface.
2. For stubborn wax, place the burner in the freezer for about 20 minutes. This will make the wax brittle and easier to remove.
3. Once the wax is frozen, use a plastic scraper to lift it off the burner. Be patient and gentle to avoid damaging the surface.

Wash with Warm Soapy Water

1. Fill your sink with warm water and add a few drops of mild dish soap.
2. Submerge the wax melt burner in the soapy water and let it soak for a few minutes.
3. Use a soft cloth or sponge to gently scrub away any remaining wax residue and dirt.
4. Rinse the burner thoroughly with clean water and pat it dry with a paper towel.

Detail Cleaning

1. For intricate designs or hard-to-reach areas, use cotton swabs soaked in warm, soapy water to clean thoroughly.
2. Ensure that all traces of wax and grime are removed.

Reassemble and Test

Once your wax melt burner is completely dry, reassemble it, plug it in, and test it with a new wax melt. Enjoy the rejuvenated fragrance in your space!
