Frequently Asked Questions
Can wax melts help with focus and concentration during work or study sessions?
Certainly! Wax melts can be a brilliant aid for focus and concentration during work or study sessions, and here’s why. The power of scent to influence mood and productivity is often underestimated.
Certain fragrances, such as citrus (think lemon, orange, or bergamot), peppermint, and eucalyptus, are particularly renowned for their ability to boost mental clarity and energy levels.
These scents work by stimulating the brain, enhancing alertness, and reducing feelings of fatigue – ideal for staying on task during long hours.
Citrus scents, for instance, are uplifting and invigorating, helping to clear mental fog and promote a positive mindset.
Peppermint, on the other hand, is often used to improve memory retention and cognitive performance. Eucalyptus is great for creating a refreshing atmosphere, especially if you’re feeling sluggish or need a quick pick-me-up.
Wax melts are a safe and convenient way to enjoy these benefits. Unlike candles, they don’t involve an open flame, making them a safer option for long study sessions or office use.
They’re also long-lasting, so you can enjoy a consistent, gentle fragrance that doesn’t overwhelm the senses but subtly creates a focused and calming environment.
Incorporating wax melts into your routine is easy.
Simply choose a fragrance that suits your mood or goals, pop it into your warmer, and let the scent work its magic.
You might find it’s just the thing to turn your workspace into a little productivity haven, helping you to stay energised, focused, and in the zone.
Are wax melts suitable for use in homes with ventilation systems that circulate air?
Yes, wax melts are perfectly suitable for use in homes with ventilation systems that circulate air, and in fact, they can work beautifully in such environments. Here’s why: Ventilation systems naturally move air throughout your home, which helps to distribute the fragrance from wax melts more evenly.
This circulation ensures that the scent travels beyond the immediate area of your warmer, creating a consistent and inviting fragrance throughout your living space. It's almost like giving your wax melts a helping hand in spreading their magic!
Since wax melts don't rely on an open flame, they are a safer option in homes with ventilation systems, where airflow might otherwise disturb a lit candle. Wax melts use gentle heat from a warmer to release their fragrance, making them an ideal choice for safety-conscious households.
However, there are a few things to consider for the best experience:
Choose the Right Warmer Location: Place your wax warmer in a central area where the airflow from your ventilation system can help distribute the fragrance. Avoid placing it directly under a vent, as excessive airflow might cool the warmer and slow the melting process.
Opt for High-Quality Wax Melts: Try our wax melts with a high fragrance load (These melts contain 30% fragrance oil), these are more likely to deliver a noticeable and long-lasting scent, even in larger spaces. Explore our Relaxing Scents Collection
Monitor Ventilation Strength: If your ventilation system is very powerful, it could dilute the fragrance more quickly. In this case, use a stronger scent or adjust the airflow settings for a balanced experience.
In short, wax melts are an excellent choice for homes with ventilation systems, adding a delightful layer of fragrance to the air already circulating through your home.
It’s like giving your living space a personalised touch, one warm, inviting scent at a time.
Can wax melts help neutralise pet odours, and if so, which scents are best for this?
Yes, wax melts can help neutralise pet odours, but the key lies in choosing the right kind of wax melt. For effective odour elimination, it’s important to opt for wax melts specifically formulated with odour-neutralising agents.
These agents don’t just mask unpleasant smells; they chemically interact with odour molecules to neutralise them entirely, leaving your home smelling fresh and clean. Some wax melts incorporate advanced technologies, such as Odouraze™, which are designed to target and eliminate odours at the source.
These specialised products are perfect for tackling persistent pet smells like wet fur, litter boxes, or those lingering "doggy" odours.
Without these odour-neutralising agents, a wax melt will simply scent the room temporarily rather than providing a long-lasting solution.
Best Scents for Neutralising Pet Odours: While odour-neutralising agents do the heavy lifting, certain scents are particularly effective at creating a clean and pleasant environment:
Citrus Scents: Lemon, orange, and bergamot are refreshing and uplifting, perfect for breaking through heavier odours.
Herbal Notes: Scents like eucalyptus or tea tree not only freshen the air but also add a crisp, clean vibe.
Woody or Earthy Tones: Sandalwood or cedarwood can provide a warm and grounding aroma, excellent for covering musty smells.
Fresh Linen or Cotton: These scents evoke the feeling of clean laundry and are universally comforting and neutral.
What to Consider:
Verify Ingredients: If you’re looking for wax melts that actively eliminate odours, check with the seller to confirm that the product contains specialised odour-neutralising agents like Odouraze™. Without these, the wax melt may only provide a temporary fragrance boost.
Placement: Place the wax warmer in areas where pet odours tend to linger, such as near a litter box or your pet’s favourite lounging spot.
Safety for Pets: Always check that the wax melts are free from essential oils or ingredients that could be harmful to your pets, as some fragrances, like tea tree or peppermint, may not be safe for certain animals.
By choosing wax melts designed with odour-neutralising technology, you can keep your home smelling inviting and fresh, even with your furry friends around.
It’s a simple yet effective way to combat unwanted smells and enjoy a beautifully fragranced home. (Note: We don't use Odouraze™ oils but our scents are triple fragrance boosted very strong scents.)
