The Photographic Emulsion Cleaner is superb. It easily cleans off 40+ year old adhesive residue on my old 8mm films. Quickly dries with no streaking and residue when wiped down with a PEC-PAD. This fluid works as well or better than some 40+ year old Kodak film cleaner that I had. Probably without the toxic or environmentally unfriendly VOCs. Unfortunately I did not tighten the cap completely the last time I used the Kodak cleaner and it evaporated away. The only complaint I have is the cleaner evaporates so quickly from the pads you have little working time if needed. I apply to fluid to a cotton swab and wipe it down with a pad. If I need to cover large areas I'll moisten a pad. Review: Works perfectly - This really works perfectly.

Just spray (i had the spray one) and wipe?** A: use a soft clean cloth, their wipes, Pec Pads work well....I don't think I've ever sprayed directly on to area to be cleaned **Q: Will it remove fibrous residue left by putting a negative in a glassine envelope before it was completely dry?** A: It should. **Q: Can this be used with a microfiber cloth instead of pec pads to clean a black and white print?** A: Yes! I use cotton swabs and small cotton balls. Small pieces of cloth cut from an old white t-shirt are great for this. I would not use synthetic fiber cloth. Work in small areas at first and don’t use too much PEC, it may result in stain or the movement of the cloth over the photo surface may appear. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Superb cleaning fluid *by R***R on June 1, 2025* PEC-PAD have a reputation that needs no further reviews.

Does not scratch and dries quickly. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Were the slides better after cleaning than before? *by D***P on December 3, 2016* Did it streak? Yes. Did it remove dirt? Yes. Were the slides better after cleaning than before? Debatable. Save this stuff for the really dirty slides, don't use it if you don't have to. I used cotton swabs and as little of this stuff as I could to clean some unimportant slides. I found that it would remove dust that was not knocked off by a dry brush, or blown off by compressed air, but it also streaked leaving minor but visible smears on the slides. I also found that the cardboard slide carriers would snag fibers from the cotton swabs that intruded into the pictures nearly as badly as the dust I was trying to remove. Certainly not worth a blind "clean every slide" approach, perhaps worthy of "there's a blatant thumb print on slide 6, and I really like slide 6" cleanup. edit: After going through 1160 slides, and having nothing else to clean them with, I have a bit more experience with this stuff. The first slides I cleaned were from the early 50's and some of them had what appeared to be chemical residue from the developing process crystallized on the film. These are the ones that streaked badly, I think because the cleaning fluid dissolved the residue, but did not remove the residue. This required wiping down with the cleaning solution, and wiping it off with a dry q-tip several times to remove the residue. It worked but not quickly. Later slides seemed to have cigarette smoke residue on them, thin could be removed with a single application. Most of my slides were cleaned sufficiently by brushing them off with a camera sensor cleaning brush. It took at least 1 minute per slide to use this cleaning solution on the dirtier slides, and then they would still need to be brushed off to remove the residual cotton fibers from the Q-tips. I have increased the rating, but it is still tedious and difficult to use this stuff effectively. The answer to my question in the title is "Yes". ## Frequently Bought Together - PEC-12 Photographic Emulsion Cleaner - Non-Water Based Stain, Grease, and Ink Remover from Emulsions and Bases for Cleaning Film, Photo Negatives, B&W Slide - with Dropper Tip (2oz) - ENPOINT 10 Pairs Archival Photo Gloves, White Work Gloves for Handling Art Working Photography Womens Cloth Gloves Liners Bulk for Handling Jewelry, Film, Photo, Coin Metal Inspection Men & Women --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.jp/products/13034824-pec-12-photographic-emulsion-cleaner](https://www.desertcart.jp/products/13034824-pec-12-photographic-emulsion-cleaner) --- *Product available on Desertcart Japan* *Store origin: JP* *Last updated: 2026-05-04*
