There are two ways to remove the wax. If the wax is hot, pop cotton wool balls into the wax and absorb the wax and is ready to be thrown away.

If you’re employing a tea light burner, it can then be cleaned with soapy water to get rid of any remaining residue.

Here are some tips for safety for using wax melters:

* Never leave a burning candle unattended.
