Oil-affected items can ignite spontaneously, especially when exposed to heat
sources such as being in a tumble dryer. The items become warm, causing an
oxidation reaction to the oil. Oxidation creates heat – if the heat cannot
escape, the items can become hot enough to catch fire. Piling, stacking or
storing oil-infected items can prevent heat from escaping, creating a potential
fire hazard.
