What cleaner do you guys recommend for cleaning my old 8mm & Super 8mm film? And what type of cloth? Where can I order these things online? I will be doing this by hand and I am sure these films need cleaning after 25-30 years without ever being properly cleaned.

Also, how would you go about cleaning slides?

Terrance,

For regular dust buildup on slides I normally use a camel's hair blower/brush along with a lint free cloth. As for 8mm, if you use the search feature above and enter "film cleaning" you'll find dozens and dozens of threads with great information and tips.
