That ^ plus avoid heat from a car, or a spark from a light switch or other electrical equipment. Or a hot lawn mower or a cigarette. Work out in the open air and avoid confined spaces and/or heat/flame/spark and there is little to worry about. I leave my rags air dry outside before tossing them. I do the same with oil stain rags, too. Then when I toss them, they go into an old fashioned metal garbage can until trash pickup day. Don't forget about the oily rag hazards, in other words.
