    Larry; I think this is a good question and I don't have a definitive
    answer - just a possibility or two. 

    If all else fails there is a product called, I believe, PEC 10. 
    I've used it for cleaning slides a long time ago.  I'm sorry to say I
    don't know what's in it. 

    If you absolutely had to try something I'd think that photo lens
    cleaner would work and not hurt the slide.  Another possibility would
    be a water and Photoflow mixture. 

    Slides and prints can take a good amount of chemical action as they
    are a rather tough surface (although easily scratched). 

    I believe alcohol can be used on them and I know that types of
    petroleum distillates were used to clean movie films. 

    The important thing is to have a applicator that is soft and will
    not scratch the wet emulsion.  And a wet emulsion will scratch very
    easily. 

    Hope this helps - just proceed carefully and test it on something
    not important first.
