Step 2: Select your favourite scents
There are hundreds of wax melts available online, huge amounts of scents to choose from such as inspired scents from Jo Malone, Alien (Muggler), Lady Million (Paco Rabanne) and so many more, once you've picked your wax melts it's time to burn them.
Step 3: Grab your tea light candles
The burners are heated up with a mini candle called a tealight candle, you can purchase these from all well-known shops.
Only use the 4-hour burn time tea lights for safety reasons.
Step 4: Burn the wax melts
Now, place your tea light at the bottom of the burner and place your wax melts at the top of the burner, wait around 5 minutes until the wax has fully melted, now you should be able to smell the strong-smelling wax melt aroma.

💡 Quick Tip
To get the most scent throw out of your wax melts, use two burners in 1 room if you have bigger than-average rooms.
Pros:
- Cost-effective - A single candle can cost over £20, but from Pongy melts only cost £3.49 each which means you can get more strong scents for the same price!
- User Friendly- They are super easy to use and require little maintenance, simply set and forget until the scent has burned off.
- Supportive: They provide adequate support and are gentle on the body, which is particularly beneficial in restorative poses or when used under the hands, feet, or spine.
- Stronger than candles - They are specifically made for strong scent throw, unlike candles which are mainly used for burn time.
Cons:
- Addictive - Wax melts can turn into a hobby with so many different scents to try, we did warn you!
- Aesthetics - They don't look as pretty compared to a candle sitting burning away on the side table.
- Could be messy - This is nothing to be worried about but if you do spill your wax melt burner over it could be a lot of cleaning.
