I attempted to unload my film holders and develop the film in an HP Combi tank. I did not want to use the spout and funnel to load the developer into the tank, so I placed a tank full of developer, with the lid on, into the changing bag along with the film holders full of film. The tank tipped over in the changing bag while I was attempting to get the film out of the holders and into the tank film holder. Some of the developer leaked out of the tank into the changing bag and onto the film holders. The developer did not enter the exposed film area of the holders, but the developer soaked into the felt areas and the changing bag itself. I attempted to clean out the film holders later with pouring rubbing alcohol into the felt area. It appeared to do the trick, but I wonder if that was a proper cleaning method. Some of the other entries suggested washing the holders in the dishwasher. Will this work also? I also attempted to clean out the changing bag (Calumet pop-up) with soap, water and a sponge, but the developer smell remains. Any suggestions there?
