What can I clean Kodachrome slides with?

[Ernesto T. Bass]

I'm scanning half a thousand Kodachrome slides taken during the Korean War.
Some of the slides look like something was spilled on them...what can I use
to clean them?

thanks

I'd probably start with 3M 'Clean Art' cleaning fluid, but I'd check
with 3M first. Comes in a 125ml tin with spout (in UK). Contains
"aliphatic petroleum distillates" if that means anything to you. Always
read the label, as they say!

Thanks Alan, I'll check it out.
