It can. I heard a terrible story: a group of Boy Scouts decided to do a service project and refinished all the woodwork in the church that sponsored their troop. They used mineral spirits-soaked cloths, and left a pile of them in the church. Spontaneous combustion happened and destroyed the church.

Is soaked an adverb?
An adverb is a descriptive word that modifies a verb. 'Soaked' does not modify a verb (eg the sentence "Dave soaked glanced at Karen, who melted" does not make sense, because 'soaked' isn't an adverb), and therefore is not an adverb. In a sentence that uses 'soaked': "Dave soaked Karen at the water gun festival, and thereafter she was soaked," 'soaked' is used first as a past-tense verb, and second as predicate adjective modifying 'Karen.' Therefore, one may conclude that 'soaked' is not an adverb.
