SAFETY REMINDERS

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
dryer. Highly flammable substances commonly used in demosetic environments include acetone,
denatured alcohol, perol/gasoline, kerosene, spot removers (some brands), turpentine, waxes
and wax removers.

● Items containing foam rubber ( also known as latex foam) or similarly textured rubber, like
materials should not be dried in a tumble dryer on a heat setting.

● Fabric softeners or similar products should not be used in a tumble dryer to eleminate the effects
of static electricity unless this practce is specifically recommended by the manufacturer of the
fabric softener or product.

● Undergarments that contain metal reinforcements should not be placed in a tumble dryer.
Damage tot he tumble dryer can result if the metal reinforcements come loose during drying. When
available a drying rack could be used for such items.

● Plastic articles such as shower caps or babies waterproof napkin covers should not be placed in
a tumble dryer.
