ICE, and spend 'WAY too much time despotting my pictures!!!

I have spent a fair bit of time experimenting on various ways to clean film
safely (both negatives and slides). My cleaning method is very simple - I
have discovered that some of these new acrylic antistatic cloths sold for
household dusting ('Amazing Wipes' - sigh..) are great. The ones I am
using have no impregnated oils (some do!), are incredibly soft and really
do pull the dust off (unlike some photo-cloths I have tried). Naturally I
use the cloth very lightly, and used this way they do not result in any
damage to my film. However, do this ENTIRELY at your own risk - I strongly
recommend testing on junk film to get the hang of it, and remember
negatives tend to be more delicate than transparencies.
