How much wax and how often should I change it?
I get asked this a LOT. Keep going for my tips and suggestions.

How much wax?
Okay, let’s talk about that number on the bottom of your warmer dish. Most dishes have it (not all), and it tells you how many cubes of wax are recommended.
Now… reminder: you do you. Seriously. Do what feels good. Butttt keep this in mind—your scent molecules need room to move and groove. If there’s not enough wax, your scent won’t be as strong or last as long. Shallow pool = weak throw.
My go-to?
👉 Big warmers: 3–4 cubes
👉 Mini warmers: 1 cube
How often do you change your wax?
Totally personal preference.
First rule? Never add new wax to old wax.
It won’t revive the scent. It just makes a mess. Toss it and start fresh!
Then, just go by your nose.
Can’t smell it anymore? Time to change it.
Things like room size and scent type play a big part.
Big rooms = more space for the scent to drift away.
Light scents in big rooms = they can get totally lost.
Make sense?
Now, I’m a little OCD (you know this 😆), so I change mine on a schedule:
Monday, Wednesday, Saturday.
But again—go with your nose!
Nose blindness is real
Story time…
You know when someone works a stinky job (trash man, farmer, etc.) and you’re like, how do you deal with that smell?!
And they’re all, “You get used to it.”
That’s nose blindness.
It happens with good smells too.
If you use cinnamon all year long, eventually your brain stops picking it up. Then you’re yelling at me like, “Amber! This scent isn’t lasting!”
But it is—you just can’t smell it anymore.
Solution? Rotate your scents!
- Cinnamon on Monday
- Clean scent on Wednesday
- Fruity on Saturday
Switching it up keeps your nose from tuning stuff out.
If you ever have any questions, ask me, I’m chill, i promise. 😉
