Can I use them to clean 35mm slides? For best results do I need to wet them with a cleaning solution? If so, what solution is recommended?

I would not attempt to clean slides with this material. The emulsion side of the slide is very vulnerable to scratches, especially when wet. I would a fine micro-fiber material and not try to over clean the slide.

I never have had to clean film residue so not sure how to answer that. I have been very satisfied with its cleaning capabilities.

You have to make sure you buy the correct lens cleaner for the lenses, only wipe them with a dry microfiber cloth and never wipe them with your fingers. Sounds impossible but the coating works great and it keeps the fog away 99% of the time. Whenever I got some fog I just wiped in some more of the protectant(comes with the goggles) and boom good to go.

Yes, you can view the slides easily, no problem. I did not find my 35mm negatives until recently and did not think to view them. I am not sure if it would be possible. My negatives are in one long strip and I think I could view them. Ginnie W

i agree with the above comments. i owned a braun with a cleaner (and a panasonic with cleaner as well) and using soap and water at the panasonic in ultra sonic mode is sufficient to clean the razor. purchasing cleaning 'cups' is not only expensive, but useless and impacts the environment (not a big green junkie, but the keurig coffee cups seem to be causing a stir). it's much easier to do a quick rinse under the faucet with these. the cleaning unit may look like a cool, professional add on, but it is not. btw, the braun i owned was not waterproof and therefore required the cleaning unit, and it was a real pita. i tried the panasonic cleaning unit a couple of times, and went back to soap and water. i agree with the above comments. i owned a braun with a cleaner (and a panasonic with cleaner as well) and using soap and water at the panasonic in ultra sonic mode is sufficient to clean the razor. purchasing cleaning 'cups' is not only expensive, but useless and impacts the environment (not a big green junkie, but the keurig coffee cups seem to be causing a stir). it's much easier to do a quick rinse under the faucet with these. the cleaning unit may look like a cool, professional add on, but it is not. btw, the braun i owned was not waterproof and therefore required the cleaning unit,... » Read More i agree with the above comments. i owned a braun with a cleaner (and a panasonic with cleaner as well) and using soap and water at the panasonic in ultra sonic mode is sufficient to clean the razor. purchasing cleaning 'cups' is not only expensive, but useless and impacts the environment (not a big green junkie, but the keurig coffee cups seem to be causing a stir). it's much easier to do a quick rinse under the faucet with these. the cleaning unit may look like a cool, professional add on, but it is not. btw, the braun i owned was not waterproof and therefore required the cleaning unit, and it was a real pita. i tried the panasonic cleaning unit a couple of times, and went back to soap and water. « Show Less

I just set up my MP800. I have scanned about 20 slides. They look great. These were all 30+ years old covered with dust and fungus. I was very pleasantly surprised by how good they looked. Counting the time it takes to mount the slides and all the clicks it took about 2 mins a slide. Good luckMalcolm

If you don't clean them, they get filthy with carbon fouling and will leave some of this residue in the bores of your guns when used. I just hand-wash them in a sink with soap and hot water after every few uses.

Just wash them in warm water. You can use a little soft-soap if you like, but don't use any harsh solvents or cleaners.

I wouldn't fear the pad scratching the film, but the dust it would pick up and carry certainly might. I don't have film, but I would not use a pad on the 35mm slides I do work with. I always just use compressed air (or a squeeze bulb).

I use Diamond Clean on mine. That is what it came with and what I replaced them with. I like the shape and feel of them.

Yes! This unit works very well. I saved all my old slides from the 60's and then used photo editor to put final touches on. A good unit for saving old slides, but does take some time if you want to get full quality from the slides. But worth it!

I didn't clean them. I have no idea how you would do that and how they would stick after. I bought the larger sheet and cut them in half to make them last longer. One would last 24hrs. Hoping to see some results soon

There is no film in them and My pair has lasted me a good while without any leaks and blurriness. Have you tried cleaning them?

I don't know if it will work on slides & film, it works great on camera lenses. I would suggest you contact the Manufacturer in Canada.

Just pop the top and bottom off and clean them in hot soapy water. I use a small scrub brush on them. Have no problems, best way I have found to clean it.

Hello interested GT-5000 customer, The answer you initially received is inaccurate. The person that had the bad experience with GT-5000 on the slide my not have properly cleaned and dried the slide before applying our tape. We have thousands of happy customers using it in this manner. Try it and if you don't like it I will give you double your money back. The GT-5000 Grip Tape Team

You will use the lint free wipe with the spray to clean the slide. This spray evaporates quickly.
