Frequently Asked Questions

You would only need to strain beeswax if it is not clean or has not been rendered. It should be strained after melting if there are bits of bee parts, dirt and debris, wood splinters, or other items that may be stuck in the wax.
Clean the warmer while it is still warm (not hot enough to burn) and the residue is still liquid or very soft. Wipe it out with paper towels or old clean cotton rags. Once most of the wax is gone, use a small amount of hot water and dish soap on a rag or sponge. (*Do not pour water into a melter that contains hot beeswax. Water and molten wax can create a nasty splattering mess.) Then use a damp clean cloth to remove the soap, then dry thoroughly. Do not pour melted beeswax down the drain. It can solidify inside the plumbing.
Best temperatures for melting beeswax 145-150 degrees F. (63-66 degrees C). This would be gentle melting range. 150-160 degrees F (66-71 C) is fine for melting larger pieces faster. But use a thermometer to check and lower heat once the larger pieces start melting. You want to avoid above 170F and 180+ would be unnecessarily hot and can darken/degrade the wax over time. To avoid overheating, use a double broiler or water bath. Put your wax in a heat-safe container sitting in hot water rather than directly on a burner. Use a thermometer to check the temperature and maintain while stirring occasionally.
