Wax melt in a warmer

How to Get the Most from Your Wax Melts

Wax melts are one of the easiest ways to fragrance your home, but a few small habits can make a big difference to how well they perform. Here are our top tips for getting the very best from your Galgorm Melts.

Use the right warmer

The size of your wax warmer matters. A small dish warmer is perfect for a bedroom or bathroom, while a larger electric warmer suits an open-plan living space. Too much heat and the fragrance burns off quickly — too little and you will not get much scent at all.

Start with a clean dish

Always remove old wax before adding a new melt. Mixing old and new wax can muddy the scent and reduce throw. Let the wax cool and solidify, then pop it out cleanly.

Give it time

Allow 20–30 minutes for the scent to build and fill the room. Wax melts release fragrance gradually, so patience pays off.

Follow these simple steps and your Galgorm Melts will fill your home with beautiful scent from the very first use.
