Can You Wash Photofinish???
#3

Interesting questing. I think it depends on the condition of the photofinish. Badly worn or spotted finish maybe a bit problematic to clean up. If it's in good shape I would  use some water on a cloth to clean, wouldn't rub really vigorously.If you like bubbles a bit of baby shampoo will give you a little more cleaning action but is still pretty mild.

I have a few Philcote sets that where spotted badly but was able the use some acrylic paints to touch up these areas. Afterwords gave it a few lite coats of lacquer to blend the touch ups. Turned out well.

When my pals were reading comic books
I was down in the basement in my dad's
workshop. Perusing his Sam's Photofoacts
Vol 1-50 admiring the old set and trying to
figure out what all those squiggly meant.
Circa 1966
Now I think I've got it!
