you are in a well ventilated room when using them. No
cleaning fluid should be used unless user is familiar with the
limitations and required cautions (usually printed on label). Use extreme
caution with flammable compounds.
Under no circumstances should fabrics containing flammable materials
(waxes, cleaning fluids, etc.) be washed in washer.
