been spotted or soaked with vegetable
or cooking oils, this constitutes a fire
hazard. Oil-affected items can ignite
spontaneously,especially when exposed to
heat sources such as a tumble dryer. The
items become warm, causing an oxidisation
reaction with the oil, Oxidisation creates
heat. If the heat cannot escape, items can
become hot enough to catch fire. Piling,
stacking or storing oil-effected items can
prevent heat from escaping and so create
a fire hazard.If it is unavoidable that fabrics
containing vegetable or cooking oil or those
that have been contaminated with hair care
products be placed in a tumble dryer they
should first be washed with extra detergent
- this will reduce, but not eliminate the
hazard. The cool tumble phase should
be used to reduce the temperature of the
items. They should not be removed from
the dryer and piled or stacked while hot.
