Safety Warnings
● Items that have been spotted or soaked with vegetable or cooking oil constitule a fire hazard and
shoul no be placed in a tumble dryer. Oil-affected items can ignite spontaneously, especially when
exposed to heat sources such as in a tumble dryer.The items become warm, causing an oxidation
reaction in the oil. Oxidation creates heat. If the heat can not escape, the item s can become hot
enough to catch fire. Pilling, stacking or storing oil-affected items can prevent heat from escaping
and so create a fire hazard. If it is unavoidable that fabrics that contain vegetable or cooking oil or
have been contaminated by hair care products be placed in a tumble dryer they should first be
washed in hot water with extra degergent- this will reduce but not eliminate , the hazard. The « cool
down » cycle of the tumble dryers should be used to reduce the temprature of the items. They
should not be removed from the tumble dryer or piled or stacked while hot.
● Items that have been previously clean in, washed in, soaked in or spotted wth petrol/gasoline, dry
cleaning solvents or other flammable or explosive substances should not be placed in a tumble

and wax removers.

of static electricity unless this practce is specifically recommended by the manufacturer of the
fabric softener or product.
