Inspecting, repairing, condition reporting and cleaning film are an important parts of managing a film collection. I learned how to clean film using Solvon film cleaning solvent with a cloth on the rewind reels. It is especially important to clean film before running it through a telecine for transfer. This will remove a great deal of dust and give the best quality digital transfer possible. The solvent used to clean film is toxic and requires the use of goggles, a respiration mask and rubber work gloves.
