Transform Your Space Naturally: A Complete Guide to Using Scented Salts with Wax Burners

The Ultimate Guide to Using Scented Salts in Your Wax Burner

There’s something magical about filling your home with a warm, welcoming aroma. At Blake’s Makes, we’ve designed our scented salts to offer a pure, natural way to enjoy fragrance without overpowering your space. Made from 100% natural salts and high-quality fragrance oils, our scented salts are eco-friendly, safe, and a simple way to refresh your home. This guide covers everything you need to know about using, caring for, and getting the most out of your scented salts.

Why Choose Scented Salts Over Traditional Wax Melts?
Scented salts are a unique and eco-conscious alternative to wax melts. Unlike wax, which can leave residue and may contain synthetic chemicals, our salts are naturally derived and fully biodegradable. They offer a clean, uncomplicated burn that won’t leave any sticky residue behind. When the scent is used up, you can safely dispose of the salts in your food recycling bin—no mess, no waste!

Our scented salts also give you the flexibility to control fragrance intensity by adjusting the quantity you add to your burner. Whether you’re looking to create a subtle hint of aroma in a small room or a rich fragrance in a larger area, scented salts provide a customisable, low-maintenance option.

Step-by-Step Guide: How to Use Scented Salts with Your Wax Burner

Step 1: Select a Quality Wax Burner
The right burner makes a big difference in scent distribution. Choose a classic wax burner with a top bowl designed for even heating. Ceramic and glass burners are especially good options, as they retain heat well and disperse the scent more uniformly. Avoid metal or very small burners, as they may heat too quickly or unevenly.

Step 2: Add Your Scented Salts
Using the eco-friendly spoon provided with your salts (made from recycled materials), add about one to two spoonful's to the top bowl of your burner. Our salts are formulated to release fragrance evenly over time, so a small amount often goes a long way. Adding more is always an option if you’d like to intensify the fragrance, but be mindful of your burner’s capacity.

Step 3: Light a Tealight Candle
Place a standard, unscented tealight candle in the holder beneath the burner. A small tealight with a 4-hour burn time is typically ideal, as it provides steady heat without causing the salts to overheat. Carefully light the candle, being cautious not to tilt or spill the burner as you do. Remember to always handle matches or lighters responsibly and to keep them stored safely away from children.

Step 4: Allow the Fragrance to Bloom
As the tealight warms the salts, they’ll slowly release their fragrance into the air, filling your space with the scent of your choice. The gradual release ensures that the fragrance stays pleasant without being overwhelming. For optimal results, place the burner on a heat-safe, flat surface in a location where the scent can circulate, such as near an open doorway or in a central part of the room.

Step 5: Monitor Burn Time and Temperature
While enjoying your scented salts, keep in mind that the burner and salts will get hot. Limit use to 4 hours or less, which is the typical burn time for a single tealight candle. Allowing the burner to cool between uses prolongs its lifespan and keeps your experience safe. Avoid touching the burner while it’s lit, and keep it out of reach of children and pets.

Step 6: Clean-Up and Safe Disposal
Once the fragrance has fully dissipated, allow the salts and burner to cool completely. Disposing of the salts is easy and environmentally friendly: just let them cool down, then place them in your food recycling bin. This is a safe, clean method of disposal that aligns with our commitment to sustainability. Unlike wax melts, there’s no need to scrape out residue or deal with sticky remnants, making clean-up a breeze.

Important Safety Tips for Using Scented Salts in Wax Burners

Using a wax burner is a great way to enjoy fragrance, but as with any item involving heat, safety is key. Here are essential tips to keep your scented salts experience safe and enjoyable:

Keep Away from Children and Pets: The wax burner will become hot during use. To avoid accidents, always keep it out of reach of children and pets. Consider placing it in a secure location, like a countertop or high shelf.

Use on a Heat-Resistant Surface: Always place your burner on a stable, heat-resistant surface. Materials like tile, marble, or ceramic coasters work well, while delicate surfaces like wood or plastic should be avoided.

Avoid Skin and Eye Contact: Although our salts are naturally sourced, they should still be handled with care. If they come into contact with skin, rinse the area with warm water. If they accidentally get into the eyes, rinse thoroughly with water and seek medical advice if irritation persists.

Only Use Tealights for Heating: Larger candles may generate too much heat for a wax burner, which could cause overheating or accidents. Stick with a standard-sized tealight candle for a controlled, safe burn.

Eco-Friendly Packaging and Refill Programme

In keeping with our focus on sustainability, each tub of scented salts is packaged in a fully recyclable container made from recycled materials. When you’ve finished a tub, bring it back to us for a refill, and we’ll give you a discount on your next purchase!
