What is a “tart” and how do I use it?
A tart (also known as a wax melt, wax potpourri, or scent disk) is highly scented wax poured into molds…with no wick! A tart is, in our opinions, one of the most efficient ways to fragrance your living space. Place the wax tart in an approved tart warmer. Once the tart has melted, the fragrance is released. The scent will last a minimum of 8 hours with some scents lasting for a few days, depending on the type of warmer used, the fragrance itself and how long the burner is on.
How do I change tarts?Unlike a candle, the wax does NOT disappear. If using one of our warmers with a removable bowl, once the fragrance has faded (or you want something new), let the wax cool and harden. Once cool, you place the removable bowl in the freezer for about 10 minutes, the wax should just “plop” out! NEVER place cold (frozen) bowl back on the warmer, please wait for the bowl to reach room temperature. Another option is to simply pour the hot wax into a jar or can and wipe the bowl clean (please be careful, wax and bowl will be very hot). NEVER pour the wax into your sink, while it may get rid of that icky leftover spaghetti smell, it will clog your pipes!
Which type of tart warmer is the best?
We’ve been asked this question multiple times, so we thought we'd go ahead and address it. Please keep in mind, this is our own personal preference. We prefer (and highly recommend) the electric plug in tart warmers. They melt the tarts nicely, don’t get overly hot, and you can turn them on and off with a click of a button. Keep in mind, you should NEVER leave a warmer unattended. With the electric warmers, you never have to replace light bulbs or use tea lights. Using an electric tart warmer is ideal for dorms, nursing homes, offices, or other places where an open flame is forbidden. Again: THIS IS OUR OWN PERSONAL OPINION AND PREFERENCE.
How should I store my tarts and how long will they keep?
Tarts should be stored in their own packaging. Keeping them in a cool dark area (a drawer, a closet) will help preserve their longevity. For best results, tarts should be used within 6 months, however, some tarts may last up to one year depending on the scent. Storing multiple scents together may cause the scents of those tarts to intermingle. Ick! Nothing like lilac cinnamon pine tarts to make you gag!
Can we stop by to pick up our purchases?
Not unless you are coming to do our laundry : ) . All jokes aside, we are a home based business, and while we value your business immensely, we would prefer to deliver your products. Please email or call and we will be happy to meet you at an agreed place. Thank you for understanding.
Do I need a PayPal account to pay with a credit card? NO! You can pay with Mastercard, Visa, American Express or Discover cards through PayPal without having to register for an account. What do the letters in parenthesis behind the scents mean?
Many of our fragrances are duplications of popular name brand scents. BBW = Bath and Body Works, VS = Victoria's Secret, TBS = The Body Shop. We are not affiliated with these companies in any way, shape, or form :) These are our versions of the scents (although we do think you'll find them very accurate!).
