Not surprisingly, laundry fires caused by spontaneous combustion have become more common as people try to rush and finish their laundry.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"none\">Assume it\u2019s 5 p.m. and a worker isn\u2019t quite done with a load of laundry. She wants to go home, but she knows she can\u2019t leave a dryer running, so she stops the cycle, opens the door and closes it again, and lets the laundry sit.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;134233117&quot;:true,&quot;134233118&quot;:true}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"none\">Not only will that laundry be wrinkled, but if the worker didn\u2019t wash the laundry correctly and contaminants are still on the material, it\u2019s possible that spontaneous combustion will occur, said Tony Berton, regional field service manager of Alliance Laundry Systems and chief safety officer with the Ripon, Wis. fire department.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;134233117&quot;:true,&quot;134233118&quot;:true}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"none\">Another example: A health and fitness club attendant was drying towels, and was about halfway through a load. But that employee also wanted to go home early, so he opened and closed the dryer door and left, leaving the laundry inside. A fire later erupted, which was traced back to two towels with massage oil on them spontaneously combusting.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;134233117&quot;:true,&quot;134233118&quot;:true}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"none\">All too often, people are in a hurry. \u201cEven at home, people will pull clothes out of their dryer before the cool-down cycle is complete,\u201d Berton said. And that\u2019s when problems can occur.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"none\">Many people will pull warm laundry like towels out of a dryer, toss them into a pile or fold them, Berton said. But if they come back and put their hands in the middle of that pile or center of the folded towels, they can still feel the heat. While that isn\u2019t usually a problem, it can become a problem if they used those towels to clean up a spill like vegetable oil, helping to fuel spontaneous combustion if the contaminants did not come out in the wash cycle.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;134233117&quot;:true,&quot;134233118&quot;:true}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"none\">Berton said people need to let dryers do their job. \u201cEvery tumbler has a certain time called a cool-down time, which will bring the temperature down.\u201d<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>If there\u2019s one thing that can be learned from stopping  [&#8230;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":37,"featured_media":7013,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"inline_featured_image":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[730],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-18476","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-on-premises-laundry"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v23.4 (Yoast SEO v26.2) -
