Photo Rescue Project

Recommendations for cleaning and restoring damaged photos and albums

If your photos have been damaged by water or mud, Fujifilm has recommendations for treating and cleaning them.

Please note that depending on the condition and extent of damage to the photo, the image surface may peel away and be unable to be cleaned — especially if the prints have been wet for a long period of time. Please first try working with a corner of the print to see how it comes out.

Once cleaned and the image has dried, you may want to take the photo print or negative and create duplicates that can be stored in good condition.

The cleaning method varies, depending on the type of photo print. For more information, check out https://rescue-photo.net/en/
