Oil-based paints, stains, and varnishes are often used for home improvement projects. Did you know that oil filled rags and liquids themselves can catch fire? Check out these safety tips when cleaning up paint & stain projects.

🔥 How can rags start a fire? 🔥
The oils commonly used in oil-based paints and stains release heat as they dry. If the heat is not released in the air, it builds up. That is why a pile of oily rags can be dangerous. As the rags dry, the heat is trapped. The heat builds up and finally causes a fire. Be aware that this does not happen with water-based finishes. - National Fire Protection Association (NFPA)
