It catches on fire often look it up just warning peeps in their containers they're fine, but it will light up if you aren't vigilant

Yup. It creates heat as it dries as most oils do. If the rag is laid flat it'll generally be fine but if you crumple it up it will spontaneously combust. I just keep a big coffee can full of water to put the rags in whenever I use oil finishes. Then wet rags go in a Ziploc and in the trash on Friday when they pick up.
