⚠️ FIRE SAFETY WARNING FOR MASSAGE THERAPISTS ⚠️

Did you know towels used with mineral oils can self-heat and catch fire — even AFTER washing?

Yesterday, St Austell Fire Station attended a fire involving towels that had been washed and left in a pile. The towels had been contaminated with massage oils and began to self-heat, eventually igniting without a flame or spark.

🔥 WHY DOES THIS HAPPEN?
Some oils oxidise when exposed to air. This chemical reaction produces heat. When towels are left bundled together, that heat can’t escape. The temperature builds until the fabric can ignite spontaneously.

🧺 HOW TO REDUCE THE RISK:
✔️ Use the minimum amount of oil possible
✔️ Wash towels thoroughly with extra detergent
✔️ Rinse well to remove oil residue
✔️ Remove towels immediately after washing
✔️ AIR DRY towels fully and separately
✔️ Never leave warm towels piled up or in baskets
✔️ Ensure towels are completely dry before storage
✔️ Store in a cool, ventilated space

💨 AIR DRY — DON’T FRY.

Please share this post with other therapists, spa staff, salons, gyms and wellness professionals. A simple change in laundry practice could prevent a serious fire.

Stay safe.
