Benefits of Candle Melt Warmer

If you have ever seen special candles without wicks called “Melts” and wondered what they were for, read on.

Using wax melts instead of regular candles has many benefits. Most importantly, it can help cut your candle cost down by quite a bit. Wax melts are becoming more and more popular, and it’s possible to purchase them in packs or individually for less than $1 each. In addition, a Melt Warmer can actually “throw” the scent more than a normal candle.

A Melt Warmer (sometimes called “Tart” warmers by Yankee candles) are either electric or ceramic. An electric melt warmer allows you to place a small light bulb into the bottom and a wax melt on top. The heat from the light will warm the wax melt, filling your room with scent. With a ceramic melt warmer, you will need to place a tea light in the bottom section to warm the melt above.

Melt Warmers come in all shapes and sizes, and can range anywhere from $15-$25, more or less, depending on size and style. Wax melts are usually about 1-2 ounces of wax, and can last for 2 days or more in a melt warmer. If you burn candles every day, using a melt warmer can be very cost effective and save you money in the long run.
