I used to order it by the quart from B&H but I think now they have problems shipping it as a volatile chemical. Most of my negatives have been stored in plastic sleeves in hanging files and have stayed clean. The oldest ones from Iran that I used to store in pages in notebooks are the ones that need the most cleaning. PEC and the special pads do the best job of cleaning. Be sure to blow any loose dirt off first so you don't scratch the film as you clean it. Good luck!
