Finger prints on slides

Well this is my fault, but none the less I need some council. My friends young daughter decided it was cool that I had these big slides (a strip of newly processed chromes) on my desk. I found her looking at them with her fingers all over the slides. I'm sure its been discussed here before but I can't find anything on cleaning finger prints off of slides (120 sized). Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks!!!

I always rewash them by hand with very mild detergent, but there are solutions made. I put the short strips back on reels to fully rewash.

Sadly fingerprints are the worst to remove, since they are pure grease, so some kind of detergent has to come into the picture.

I use Edwal's film cleaner. Works even with grease. Apply using a Q-tip, and very gentle pressure.

I keep my kids away from my film!

I have many thousands of mounted chromes, you can clean them without issue. There is no way to keep one's fingers off of them from time to time.
