There are big issues with laundry spontaneously catching fire.



Oily rags I've heard of, but has anyone else heard of household laundry

spontaneously combusting, or is it only on Planet Harry?





I can't help you being thick.

let's see:

"spontaneous combustion of items which had been removed from hot dryers and
placed in polyethylene plastic transport carts."

"the source of ignition was spontaneous combustion caused by residual
chemicals in the laundered fabric reacting to the heat of the dryer."

Not really anything to do with chutes is it?

let's see:-
"Laundry chutes are safe and doors supplied with UK 1hr fire rating

Laundry chutes are safe and doors supplied with UK 1hr fire rating

More information soon!"

Well F me that's conclusive!


nothing to do with laundry chutes then....

Hey ****-fer-brains
Any mass of laundry can catch fire spontaneously especially if it's a bit
damp.
Just as a pile of damp hay can catch fire.
Laundry chute fires are a known hazard, the doors are specially designed to
stop heat and smoke penetrating the building.
I have seen such a fire myself in a hospital.
