Late, but I'll have to add to the shower room vote. I too turn on the shower

for a few seconds before I develop the roll just to kill off any dust there.

I use a minor splash of Ilfotol wetting agent in water at 1 + 200 and hang 
them in the shower cubicle. I do NOT squeegee them or dry them with my 
fingers. It seem to work for me provided I do not let the film curl on 
itself and hang them up immediately.
