WW's on fire....see what happens when you boil MFs *pic*

Where do I begin?....



Wiiliam.. rescuing the pets could have very well cost you your life.



I hope you went to seek medical attention.. the materials that make up microfiber toweling create some very nasty fire gasses, such as hyrogen chloride, hydrogen sulfide, phosgene, cyanide, carbon monoxide and about a few thousand elements that we firefighters call "nastya**bads**t".



How old are the smoke detectors? They have a ten year lifespan, and even though they may still operate, the sensors lose their effectiveness and may not go off until it is too late.



Since this is fire prevention month, allow me to pontificate on a few things.



Check and maintain carbon monoxide and smoke detectors at leat once a month. If you don't have them, install them!



Have a fire extinguisher in the kitchen and garage areas, read the instructions before you need to use them!



Have a home fire escape plan and practice it at least once a month. Know at least two ways out of every room and two ways out of the house.



If there is smoke or fire in the house... leave immediately and take nothing with you.



Call 911 or your local emergency number from a neighbor's home or a cell phone, if you have it with you.



Never store gasoline cans or propane tanks indoors. A 20 pound propane tank in fire conditions contains enoughpower to level a typical home. Propane and gasoline vapors are heavier than air and invisible... if they find an ignition source.. ka-boom.



If you semll natural gas inside your home.. leave and call 911. Do not turn anything on or off. Natural gas has an explosive range of 5 to 15%.. all it takes is a spark to ignite the mixture.



Oaky, I'm off of my soapbox for now..

No I appreciate that. Its not a soapbox rant. The more I think about it the angrier that I get about the smoke detectors. You can still smell the sent of burnt MF in here. Its not so bad that you cant live with or that it takes your breath away but its noticeable. We are borrowing my parents - in - laws carpet cleaner tomorrow and washing all the walls down with vinegar and water tomorrow in hopes to take more of the smell away. :wall
 
Gosh, glad you and your pets are ok.



I must say I laughed when you said "Guinea pigs scatter." Those little guys make me laugh everytime I see one. :rofl

We love our girls. They are very fun to watch and cuddle with. Needless to say they all got baths in our jacuzi that night.



Here is an older picture of them

I'm very glad you and family (pets are like kids I tell ya) are safe and sound. I was in a house when my then brother in law came home drunk and decided to cook. Bad idea. To this day I can still remember what it sounded like when my sister punched him to wake him from his drunken stupor. I bet he still feels that.
 
I'm glad everyone made it out okay, including the pets and nothing was burned down. I bet you won't be boiling microfibers again anytime soon!



I really didn't notice that much of a difference when I boiled a few microfibers. I now wash mine on hot for one cycle using regular laundry detergent (perfume & dye-free) and then after it's done I'll set it for another cycle on hot, except this time using vinegar instead of laundry detergent.

Thats usually what I do but this time I thought what the hell I will try it.
 
I don't know if you got the smell out of your house, but if not...you can try renting an Ozone machine at your local rental place.

On a serious note did you have a fire extinguisher in the house? I have three and they are all located around the kitchen.





I am glad you and your family are okay...could of been worse...

Indeed it could have. The last 10 days have pretty much been a living hell because of additional things compounding.

Hahah naw, detailing season here is all but over so no new products until April. But she was and always is supportive up me which is amazing as much as I screw up. Especially in the last 2 weeks.
