Care and Cleaning of Gold Slides

  • Handle slides with latex gloves, picking them up carefully around the edges. Because the gold is very soft, it comes off fairly easily. If fingerprints get on the slides, wipe them off very lightly with an optical wipe dunked in high purity alcohol. Slides should be kept covered in their original box.

  • We do not recommend cleaning or re-using slides. Should the slides be cleaned, we are not responsible if the gold is removed.
