Same on my tung oil can... Not sure wtf you're supposed to do with the rags but I hung mine on the washing line outside until they got rained on and dried out again.

Put them in s jar of water and throw that out, but basically anything other than crumpling them up and leaving them on a workshop floor mixed up with plane shavings will do.
When linseed oil off gases there is an exothermic chemical reaction. This is enough to ignite a rag that is covered in oil if the rag in question is crumpled up.
