Items that have been spotted or

soaked with vegetable or cooking oil

constitute a fire hazard and should not

placed in a washer-dryer. Oil-affected

items can ignite spontaneously,

especially when exposed to heat

sources such as in washer-dryer. The

items become warm, causing an

oxidation creates heat. If the heat

cannot escape, the items can become

hot enough to catch fire. Piling,

stacking or storing oil-affected items

can prevent heat from escaping and

so create a fire hazard.

Items containing foam rubber (also

known as latex foam) or similarly

textured rubber, like materials should

not be dried in a washer-dryer on a

heat setting.

Fabric softeners or similar products

should not be used in a washer-dryer to

eliminate the effects of static electricity

unless this practice is specifically

recommended by the manufacturer of

the fabric softener or product.

Undergarments that contain metal

reinforcements should not be placed

in a washer-dryer.

Plastic articles such as shower caps

or babies’ waterproof napkin covers

should not be placed in washer-dryer.

Damage to the washer-dryer can

result if metal reinforcements come

loose during drying. When available a

drying rack could be used for such

itmes.

Foam rubber materials can, when

heated, produce fire by spontaneous

combustion.

If it is unavoidable that fabrics that

contain vegetable or cooking oil or

have been contaminated by hair care

products be placed in washer-dryer

they should first be washed in hot

water with extra detergent - this will

reduce, but not eliminate the hazard.

The ‘cool down’ cycle of washer-dryer

is used to reduce the temperature of

the items. They should not be

removed from the washer-dryer or

piled or stacked while hot.

Items that have been previously cleaned

in, washed in, soaked in or spotted with

petrol/gasoline, dry - cleaning solvents

or other flammable or explosive

substances should not be placed in

washer-dryer.

Highly flammable substances commonly

used in domestic environments include

acetone, denatured alcohol,

petrol/gasoline, kerosine, spot removers

(some brands), turpentine, waxes and

wax removers.
