Rags laid out flat won't (generally) combust either. They need to be balled up or put in a trash can together or something. The extra surface area of the rag (all the fibers) allows for more of the 'drying' exothermic reaction to happen and heat the rags up too much. As long as it stays cool, you are safe.
