🔥 Fire Safety Reminder for Emollient Users
Did you know that paraffin-based skin creams (emollients) can soak into clothing and bedding, making them highly flammable?
If you or someone you care for uses these creams, please follow these safety tips:
✅ Avoid smoking or being near open flames (like candles or gas hobs)
✅ Change clothing and bedding daily
✅ Wash fabrics at high temperatures to reduce cream build-up
✅ Let your care team know if you use emollients – they’ll add safety advice to your care plan
Let’s keep everyone safe while staying comfortable 💙
