Candle, Wax Melt & Fragrance Tablet Care Guide
Candle, Wax Melt & Fragrance Tablet Care Guide
Made From The Heart Co.
At Made From The Heart Co., our candles, wax melts, and fragrance tablets are handcrafted with care using organic soy wax and premium fragrance oils.
Following these simple care instructions will help you enjoy your favorite fragrances while keeping safety a priority.
Important Safety Reminder: All candles, wax melts, and fragrance tablets are intended for home fragrance use only. They are not edible. Never ingest wax or fragrance products, and always keep them out of reach of children and pets.
Organic Soy Candle Care
Before Lighting Your Candle
● Always trim the wick to ¼ inch before each burn.
● Place your candle on a stable, level, heat-resistant surface.
● Keep candles away from drafts, fans, curtains, and flammable materials.
● Keep burning candles out of reach of children and pets.
● Never leave a burning candle unattended.
The First Burn Matters
The first burn helps establish an even wax melt pool.
Allow the wax to melt toward the edges of the container to help minimize tunneling, without exceeding the recommended maximum burn time.
Recommended burn time: Approximately 2–4 hours.
Smaller candles may require less time to achieve an even melt pool.
Everyday Candle Care
● Never burn a candle for longer than 4 hours at a time.
● Allow the wax to cool and solidify completely before relighting.
● Trim the wick to ¼ inch before each use.
● Keep the wax free of wick trimmings, matches, and other debris.
● Never move or touch a candle while the wax is hot or liquid.
● Stop burning when approximately ½ inch of wax remains at the bottom of the container.
● Never burn a candle in a cracked, chipped, or damaged container.
● Extinguish the candle if the flame becomes unusually high, flickers excessively, or produces excessive smoke.
● Never use water to extinguish a candle.
Understanding Natural Soy Wax
Natural soy wax may occasionally develop frosting, slight color variations, or uneven-looking surfaces.
These are normal characteristics of soy wax and do not necessarily affect the candle’s quality or performance.
Organic Soy Wax Melt Care
Our handcrafted organic soy wax melts provide beautiful fragrance without the need for a candle wick.
How to Use Wax Melts
1. Place one or two wax melt cubes into the dish of an approved wax warmer, without overfilling it.
2. Turn on your electric warmer or follow the manufacturer’s instructions for your warmer.
3. Allow the wax to melt gradually and release its fragrance.
4. Turn off the warmer when finished and allow the wax to cool completely.
Wax Melt Safety
● Do not ingest. Wax melts are not edible and are not intended for consumption.
● Keep wax melts, wax warmers, and melted wax out of reach of children and pets.
● Use only an approved wax warmer designed for scented wax melts.
● Follow the warmer manufacturer’s operating instructions.
● Never add water or additional fragrance oils to the wax.
● Never leave a wax warmer operating unattended.
● Do not move or touch the warmer while the wax is hot.
● Never pour melted wax down drains.
● Do not apply melted wax directly to skin.
● Wax melts are not intended to be burned directly or used as candles.
When to Replace Your Wax Melts
Wax melts can often be warmed multiple times.
When the fragrance becomes faint or is no longer noticeable, allow the wax to cool and remove it according to your warmer manufacturer’s instructions.
Always ensure the warmer is turned off and the wax is cool before cleaning or handling.
Fragrance Tablet Care
Our handcrafted organic soy wax fragrance tablets are a versatile way to enjoy your favorite scents.
Each fragrance tablet comes with a protective muslin bag, allowing you to enjoy fragrance in closets, dresser drawers, and other small spaces.
Fragrance tablets may also be used as wax melts in an approved wax warmer.
How to Use Fragrance Tablets
Closets & Drawers
● Place your fragrance tablet inside its provided muslin bag.
● Hang it in a closet or place it inside a dresser drawer to add a pleasant fragrance to clothing and surrounding spaces.
● Keep the tablet inside its muslin bag to help prevent direct contact with fabrics and surfaces.
● Avoid placing tablets directly against delicate materials or surfaces that may be sensitive to fragrance oils.
Cars
● Place your fragrance tablet inside its muslin bag underneath a car seat, away from direct sunlight.
● Secure the tablet so it cannot interfere with pedals, seat mechanisms, or other vehicle controls.
● Do not place fragrance tablets on dashboards or surfaces exposed to direct sunlight.
● Parked vehicles can become extremely hot, even in shaded areas. Remove the tablet if temperatures may cause the wax to soften or melt.
Wax Warmers
Fragrance tablets may also be used as wax melts.
1. Remove the fragrance tablet from its muslin bag.
2. Place an appropriate amount of wax into an approved wax warmer, without overfilling it.
3. Follow the same operating and safety instructions provided in our Wax Melt Care section.
4. Turn off the warmer after use and allow the wax to cool completely.
Never place the muslin bag inside a wax warmer.
Fragrance Tablet Safety
● Do not ingest. Fragrance tablets are not edible and must never be consumed.
● Keep fragrance tablets in the muslin bag out of reach of children and pets.
● Fragrance tablets are intended for home fragrance use only, not for use on the skin or body.
● Keep away from direct sunlight, open flames, and excessive heat when using them as passive air fresheners.
● Keep tablets inside the muslin bag when placing them in closets, drawers, or vehicles.
● Avoid direct contact between exposed wax and clothing, upholstery, furniture, or painted surfaces.
● Never light or burn fragrance tablets directly.
● Only melt fragrance tablets in an approved wax warmer.

● Do not add water or additional fragrance oils when melting tablets.
● Do not place the muslin bag or any decorative materials, tissue paper, into a wax warmer.
Making Your Fragrance Tablet Last
Store your fragrance tablet in a cool, dry location away from direct sunlight when not in use.
Fragrance strength and longevity may vary depending on the scent, temperature, airflow, and size of the space.
When used as a wax melt, the tablet may be warmed multiple times until the fragrance fades.
