Most finishes cure by polymerizing (catalyzed by oxygen) and this generates heat. If you had laid the rags flat and spread out until dry/cured, the heat would have dissipated and they would likely not combust.

The real question is: who puts stinky finishing rags in the kitchen garbage? Not a smell for the indoors unless absolutely necessary - as in finishing cabinets or floors.

I work for one of the major uniform and facility services rental companies. Spontaneous combustion is always a major concern for us and we go to great lengths to prevent it. When you have linen bags full of shop towels with who knows what all chemicals on them or terry towels from restaurants that have been sitting all week with food matter fermenting in the bag, it can definitely combust.

I know of a lawsuit where it happened and caused lots of fire damage. Insurance company refused to pay because they didn’t know it. After some research and perhaps some expert input, realized it was very plausible that the rags spontaneously combusted. Settled and paid.


My dad did arson investigations for the big insurance companies in Wisconsin. One guy claimed a total loss saying some rags had spontaneously combusted. So my dad recreated his testimony with the same situation and a temp probe. End of the day the guy was just an arsonist.

I can recall an incident at WOW in Houma where they left a pile of freshly clean and dried towels in a pile. With the radiant heat and static charge from the drier, the pile spontaneously combusted.
