If your allowed in your area you can burn them outside. If not they should be put in a glass or metal container filled with water with a top on it.

You can just spread the rags out OUTSIDE and let them dry, but do not stuff them into a heap ever again.

Have you ever heard of a mixture of Val oil and Turpentine (50/50)? No combustion problems with this and a MUCH shorter dry time and according to many it seals as good or better than BLO.
