How do you remove wax from an oil burner?

Published in Wax Removal 1 min read

Removing wax from an oil burner or warmer can be done efficiently by soaking up the wax while it is still warm.

Easy Wax Removal Method

One straightforward method involves letting the wax cool slightly after the warmer has been turned off. Avoid letting it solidify completely.

Here's how to do it:

  • Allow Cooling: Turn off your oil burner or warmer and give the wax a few moments to start cooling down. The key is that it should be liquid or very soft, not fully solid.
  • Soak It Up: Take a couple of cotton wool balls or pieces of tissue and place them directly into the melted or softened wax in the top dish of the burner.
  • Absorption: Let the cotton balls or tissue soak up the wax.
  • Discard: Carefully remove the wax-soaked cotton balls or tissue and dispose of them properly.

This technique is effective because the still-warm wax is easily absorbed by the cotton or tissue, making cleanup quick and simple without scraping.
