## Abstract

A method of containing and removing melted wax or therapeutic oils (usually scented) while protecting the integrity of the receiving portion, or reservoir, of a warming mechanism, known typically as a wax warmer or diffuser. Such container (hereafter referred to as “liner”) being placed in direct contact with the base of the reservoir of the warming mechanism with wax or oils being placed inside the liner, rather than being placed directly into the reservoir of the warming mechanism itself. Such liner would simplify the process of removing the used melted or solid wax or oils from the reservoir of the wax warmer, providing a convenient method of disposing of used wax or oils and reducing or eliminating the messiness and potential dangers of traditional methods of removal. The liner also could be used as a storage container or for reusing removed wax or oils.

## Claims

### Claim 1 (depends on 1)

A liner, acting as a containment device, for the purpose of holding wax, scented wax or therapeutic oils within the receiving portion, or reservoir, of a wax-warming mechanism.
a) a liner, of claim 1, made from, but not limited to, polymeric material.
b) a liner, of claim 1, to be made from material that is reusable.
c) a liner, of claim 1, to be made from material that is disposable.

### Claim 2

A liner used to contain molten wax during the warming process.

### Claim 3

A liner purposed for easy removal of warmed or cooled wax or oils from the reservoir of a wax-warming mechanism.

### Claim 4

A liner, used for storage of the cooled, unused portion of wax, removed from the reservoir of a wax-warming mechanism.

### Claim 5

A liner, which may be emptied and reused.

### Claim 6

A liner, used as a barrier to protect the receiving portion, or reservoir, of a wax-warming device from wax buildup and to maintain a new and clean appearance.

### Claim 7

A liner to prevent scent mixing by maintaining the cleanliness of the receiving portion, or reservoir, of a wax-warming device, and preventing wax buildup that can taint subsequent wax usage of a different scent.
