*WARNING

AVOID FIRE FROM MASSAGE OILS 

 All brands of massage oil and gels cans cause fires.

Oil-saturated linens and towels can spontaneously burn up in the dryer or when stored after drying, even after washing.

Use caution when drying or storing fabrics in your dryer, or when stored after drying and even after washing.

Use caution when drying or storing fabrics exposed to oils.

Consult your dryer manufacturer’s instructions if necessary.

Laundry fires are related to spontaneous combustion. Incomplete removal of oily residues from textiles is one of the factors.

The problem begins in the dryer when the residual oils are heated and eventually either the oils themselves, or their degradation products, begin to react with the oxygen in the drying air.

The reactions start only slowly in the dryer, they can continue in the hot stack of clean folded towels or sheets.
