Gentle cycle in the washer - put them in the "delicates" basket and use
a gentle detergent. Then 30 minutes on low heat in the dryer and they
should be 'good as new.' :-)

All:

I have given myself the job of sorting and organizing my old slides for
the 
1960's.  And I am surprised how few show any signs of fading - less than

one in a hundred - despite being thrown in carousel trays and simply
left 
for most of the last 40 years!

However, most have acquired a 'patina' of dust that won't come off with
a 
camel's hair brush and compressed air.

Any ideas on how I might wash & dry 'em?

Many thanks.
