There are several methods of removing wax from your warmer. My favourite method is the freezer method. You simply allow your wax to cool and then place the wax dish (or entire warmer, if it is a one piece tea light model) into your freezer for approximately 15-20 minutes.After removing the wax from the freezer, I usually let it sit on the counter for a minute or two before attempting to take the wax out of its dish. Sometimes the wax pops right out, other times, it needs a bit of coaxing by either twisting the wax in the dish or using a knife (or something similar) to slide under the wax and release its grip. Above is an example of wax that has been removed from warmers using the freezer method.Alternatively, you can use a couple of cotton balls to soak up the wax from the melter while it is still liquid or pour out the melted wax into a collection container. These are good options when you are using a one piece electric model that cannot be placed in the freezer, or if you just can't wait to try out a different scent!I personally use the freezer method. It's nice and clean, plus I enjoy looking at those lovely stacks of colorful wax.
