To clean a wax heater product, follow these steps:
- Turn off the heater : Ensure the heater is turned off and unplugged before starting the cleaning process
- Remove the wax : If there is any wax left in the pot, remove it while the wax is still warm. You can use a waxing strip with a bit of baby oil to remove any drips
- Clean the pot : If the wax pot is clean (meaning no double-dipping with applicators), you can warm up the pot to a slightly higher temperature than normal and pour the melted wax into a container for disposal or storage
- Clean the outside : To clean the exterior of the wax pot, use a waxing strip with a bit of baby oil to remove any drips. Dried-on cold wax may require more effort, which can be made easier with a wax warmer cleaner
- Use a hard wax cleaner : The best way to clean a wax warmer is by using a hard wax cleaner like Starpil Post-Wax Oil. Deep cleaning should be done at least once a week or whenever you're changing to a different wax
- Wipe down with isopropyl alcohol : Finish with a wipe-down of isopropyl alcohol to remove any remaining residue
Avoid using acetone or solvents to clean your wax heater, as they can damage the electric wax heater
. Also, consider using paper collars to prevent future damage to the warmer
