Thanks for that wonderful anectdote!

Professional photographers and professional labs have always used chemicals to clean prints and film. They are certain it’s OK, but as you know, I take a more cautious approach.

It’s hard to imagine how the first time treatment is completely safe while the second spells disaster.
