The benefits of a lovely smelling home are numerous. When it comes time to change the wax in your candle warmer, you might find yourself making a mess or unsure of how to clean out your wax warmer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
So, how do you remove candle wax from a candle warmer? Removing the wax is as easy as finding a way to soak it up and wipe it out.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n The problem is, cleanup is not always that easy. Sometimes your warmer has brown goo stuck in it. Other times you spill wax as you clean. The good news is there is more than one way to clean the candle wax from a candle warmer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n If you are starting with a cold pot of wax, let it warm up for a few minutes. You don\u2019t want to wait too long, though. Give it just enough time to melt the bottom part of the wax.<\/p>\n\n\n\n When you tip the warmer pot over, the wax should slide right out, or you can scoop it out with a paper towel.<\/strong> Grab any residual wax with the paper towel, too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Some people have a habit of turning on their warmer, intending to scoop it out after it melts just a little, and then walking away and forgetting about it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n When they come back, the wax is fully melted. If this happens to you, don\u2019t worry. There is more than one way to remove candle wax from your candle warmer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n At this point, add a few cotton balls into the liquified wax and let them soak it all up.<\/strong> Now, you can toss the cotton balls and wipe out the reservoir with a paper towel. You are ready for a fresh scent!<\/p>\n\n\n\n For the warming pots that are big enough to fill a large room with scent, you may notice you need several cotton balls. The smaller pots that plug into a socket in a smaller room may only require one or two to absorb the wax fully.<\/p>\n\n\n\n If fussing with melted wax is not on your to-do list, there are other options.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Several manufacturers have created liners <\/strong>for wax warmers. Typically, these are made from silicone, so they are safe in your wax warmer. <\/p>\n\n\n\n There is a company selling these liners on Amazon, and the liners are designed for large pots. You can check them out here<\/a> if you are interested in a low-fuss way to change out your wax.<\/p>\n\n\n\n If you have any of the smaller pots or the ones that plug directly into a socket, you will need smaller liners. I found these<\/a> silicone liners for smaller warmers on Amazon, and they come with wax for melting, too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n If you get to the bottom of your wax pot and you are wiping it out with a paper towel, do not be alarmed if you notice brown residue. This residue tells you the wax has been warmed for too long, and it needs to be changed out more frequently.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n To handle the immediate issue with the residue, wash your warmer with a mild household detergent. Let the wax warmer pot dry and reuse as usual.<\/p>\n\n\n3 Easy Ways to Remove Candle Wax from a Candle Warmer<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
