When using wax melts, it is important to follow the following safety precautions to prevent accidents or injuries. Here are some safety precautions to consider:

1. Keep out of reach of children and pets: Wax melts can be dangerous if ingested. In case of accidental ingestion of wax, contact poison control to obtain further instructions.

2. Use a proper wax melt warmer: Use a wax melt warmer that is specifically designed for use with wax melts, and ensure that it has a stable base to prevent it from tipping over.

3. Never leave a wax melt warmer unattended: Always keep an eye on your wax melt warmer and never leave it unattended while it is in use.

4. Do not add water: Avoid adding water to the wax melt warmer reservoir since wax melts are not intended to be used with any water.

5. Do not touch the wax melt warmer while in use: Refrain from touching the wax melt warmer while it is in operation or right after use due to the high temperatures it may reach.

6. Keep away from flammable materials: Keep the wax melt warmer away from flammable materials such as curtains, bedding, or other materials that could catch fire.

7. Do not overfill the wax melt warmer: Only use the recommended amount of wax melts in the wax melt warmer, and do not overfill it.

8. Avoid leaving the wax warmer on for extended periods of time: It is recommended to limit the use of your wax warmer to 2-4 hours per session.

9. Do not pour used wax melts down your drain system: Discard the old wax in a waste bin.

By following these safety precautions, you can enjoy using wax melts while keeping your family, yourself, and your home safe.

How many wax melt cubes you use depends greatly on the size of the room your warmer is located in.

We recommend using ½-2 cubes to start, depending on room size and desired scent strength. If you have a large room or an open concept layout, you may need to use more cubes to achieve the same results as you would in a smaller room or closed concept layout.

It also largely depends on scent strength preferences. Some folks prefer a very strong fragrance for their home, and so they may start by using 1-2 wax melt cubes. Others may be a bit more sensitive to strong scents, and may opt for ½-1 cube to start out.

Scent throw also varies slightly depending on which warmer you choose to use. Higher temperature bulbs or warmers may result in stronger scents, but they may dissipate a little faster. Lower temperature bulbs may result in slightly softer scent throw, but the fragrance may last longer. 

Also, some wax melt fragrances are naturally created stronger than other, softer scents. So, please keep this in mind as well!

Yes! Humble Oak wax melts are always phthalate, paraben, and sulfate free.

Yes! Our wax melts are vegan friendly.

The use of coconut-soy wax in Humble Oak wax melts is deliberate and driven by several key factors:

- The coconut-soy wax blend is an all-natural, biodegradable, vegan, and eco-friendly option that promotes sustainability.

- In addition to being environmentally conscious, it offers a clean and soot-free burn, leading to a better burn experience.

- The high melting point of coconut-soy wax also results in a slower burn and longer-lasting scent, providing a superior quality and longer-lasting wax melt.

Overall, our selection of coconut-soy wax is based on our unwavering commitment to superior performance, use of clean and natural ingredients, and environmentally conscious practices, wherever possible.

Wax melts can be used with several different types of wax warmers, including electric wax warmers, candle-powered warmers, and tea light warmers.

Electric wax warmers are a popular option, as they are safe and easy to use. Simply place the desired amount of your favorite Humble Oak wax melt scent in the dish on top of the warmer, plug it in, and turn it on. The electric heating element will then melt the wax, releasing its fragrance into the room.

Candle-powered warmers work by using a tea light candle to heat the wax. The candle is placed in the base of the warmer and the wax melt is then placed in the dish on top. As the candle burns, it heats the dish, melting the wax and releasing its fragrance into the room.

Tea light warmers are very similar to candle-powered warmers, but they use a separate dish to hold the wax melt and a tea light candle is placed underneath. The candle's heat melts the wax, releasing its fragrance into the room.

Regardless of the type of warmer you choose, it's important to make sure it is designed for use with scented wax and to follow the manufacturer's instructions for safe and effective use.

In conclusion, the type of wax warmer you choose for your Humble Oak wax melts will depend on your personal preference and the features you're looking for in a warmer. Whether you prefer the convenience, safety, and various designs of an electric warmer or the traditional charm of a candle-powered or tea light warmer, there are options available to suit your needs.

If you are no longer able to detect the scent of your wax melts, there are a few possible explanations. One of these is nose blindness. Nose blindness, also known as olfactory fatigue or odor fatigue, is a temporary loss of sensitivity to certain smells. This can happen when your nose becomes accustomed to a particular scent and no longer perceives it, even though the scent is still present.

This can also occur when you are exposed to a strong or persistant scent for an extended period, and your brain eventually blocks out the smell to protect you from sensory overload.

For example, if you use scented products like candles, wax melts, or perfumes on a daily basis, your sense of smell may become less sensitive to those scents over a period of time.

If you are experiencing nose blindness due to wax melt use, there are several strategies that you can try to combat it:

1. Take a break: If you have been using wax melts for an extended period, your sense of smell can become overwhelmed, leading to nose blindness. Taking a break from the scent can help reset your olfactory senses.

2. Switch scents: Alternate between different scents to avoid nose blindness. This will help to keep your sense of smell fresh and prevent it from becoming desensitized to a particular fragrance.

3. Choose a lighter scent: Opt for lighter scents rather than stronger ones. If you are particularly sensitive to fragrances or prone to nose blindness, consider using lighter, mild scents. Lighter fragrances are less likely to cause nose blindness and sensory overload.

4. Ventilate the room: Proper ventilation can help prevent nose blindness by circulating fresh air in the room and reducing the concentration of scent molecules in the air.

5. Lastly, you could attempt to reset your olfactory senses by smelling coffee beans. Using coffee beans is a popular method to overcome nose blindness.

Here's how you can use coffee beans to reset your sense of smell:

1. Choose a container: Select a small, clean container to hold the coffee beans. A small glass or ceramic bowl or cup would work well.

2. Get some coffee beans: Choosing whole coffee beans instead of ground coffee is more effective at resetting your sense of smell.

1. Sniff the beans:

Take a deep sniff of the coffee beans, holding them under your nose for a few seconds. This will help to clear your olfactory senses and refresh your sense of smell.

You can repeat this process as many times as necessary to help combat nose blindness.

By implementing these strategies, you can reduce the risk of nose blindness and continue to enjoy the benefits of your wax melts.

If none of these approaches prove successful, your wax melt may have reached the end of its fragrance lifespan. In this situation, you can dispose of the used wax safely and replace it with fresh wax melts in your wax melter.

Cleaning your wax melt warmer is a simple and easy process that can help keep it running efficiently. There are a couple of methods you can use to clean your wax melter.

The first approach involves waiting for the wax and the melter to cool down before taking a utensil, such as a plastic scraper, and using it to gently scrape off any remaining wax from the melter reservoir. This method is effective for removing most of the wax residue.

The second method involves turning off the wax melter and very carefully taking a cotton ball and placing it into the melted wax. The cotton ball will absorb the wax, and you can repeat this process as necessary until the melter reservoir is completely clean.

It's important to note that you should never use a metal utensil to scrape off wax, as this can scratch or damage the surface of your wax melter. Additionally, be cautious when handling hot wax, and always wait for the wax and melter to cool down before attempting to clean it.

By following these simple steps, you can maintain a clean and efficient wax melt warmer, ensuring that it continues to provide you with long-lasting fragrance and enjoyment.

The longevity of the fragrance in wax melts can vary depending on several factors, including the type of wax, the fragrance strength, and the temperature at which the wax is melted. On average, most wax melts can provide fragrance for several hours, typically ranging from 4 to 8 hours.

The strength of the fragrance can also impact the duration of the scent. If you prefer a stronger fragrance, you may need to use more wax melts or melt them for a longer period of time. Conversely, if you prefer a lighter fragrance, you can use fewer wax melts or melt them for a shorter period of time.

It's important to note that the duration of the fragrance in wax melts can also be influenced by the size of the room, the temperature and ventilation in the room, and the type of wax warmer used. In general, the fragrance from wax melts will last longer in smaller rooms with good ventilation, as the scent has a chance to circulate more effectively.

In conclusion, the longevity of the fragrance in wax melts can range from several hours to a full day, depending on various factors such as the type of wax, fragrance strength, and room conditions. To ensure optimal fragrance performance, it's best to follow the manufacturer's instructions for use and to adjust the number of wax melts and melting time as needed to achieve your desired fragrance strength.

Candles and wax melts are both popular products used for home fragrance and ambiance, but there are some key differences between the two.

Candles are made from wax that is poured into a container, usually with a wick running through the center. When lit, the heat from the flame melts the wax, releasing fragrance into the air. Candles can also be used for mood lighting and can come in various shapes and sizes.

Wax melts, on the other hand, offer a highly convenient and efficient way to experience the benefits of home fragrance.

Unlike candles, wax melts do not generally require an open flame, making them a safer option for homes with children or pets.

Furthermore, wax melts are incredibly versatile, and can be easily swapped out for different scents as desired, without the need to wait for a candle to burn down.

One of the key advantages of wax melts is their convenience and ease of use. Simply place a wax melt in a wax warmer and turn it on, and the room will be filled with a delightful fragrance in a matter of minutes. The size of the wax melt also makes it a cost-effective option, as you can use as much or as little as you like, depending on the strength of the fragrance you desire.

Wax melts are also highly customizable, allowing you to mix and match scents to create your own unique fragrance blends. Whether you prefer fresh and fruity, warm and spicy, or floral and calming, wax melts offer a wide range of scents to choose from. Additionally, the absence of a wick means that the wax melt fragrance can last for several hours or even up to several days, making it a long-lasting solution for home fragrance.

In conclusion, wax melts are a highly practical and versatile solution for home fragrance, offering convenience, cleaner burning, cost-effectiveness, and a wide range of fragrances to choose from.

Whether you're looking for a quick and easy way to add a touch of fragrance to your home or a more long-lasting solution, wax melts are an excellent choice.
