Cleaning 35m Slides and Negatives
What are the best materials for cleaning 35mm slides and film prior to scanning? And what's the best procedure for doing so?

There is a solution created for this particular purpose which will clean fingerprints and such. You can learn about it at this link:
http://www.photosol.com/pec-12product.htmPersonally, I simply brush both sides of my slides with a dry Q-Tip. Brush in one direction, toward the darkest part of the image. Then, I'll give each side a blast with a can of compressed air to remove residual cotton hairs the brushing may have left.
Stubborn spots, scratches, etc., can be removed with a software program such as Digital ICE.
