It
is essential that you, the user, clean up all your
debris and coordinate with the houskeeping staff
for removal of trash and wiping down the floor
after use. All counters must be wiped down and all
chemical spills cleaned up. Upon departure for the
final use of the darkroom, chemical bottles should
be removed or the chemicals dumped out and the sink
washed. All items used in the processing must also
be washed, dried, and put away. Consider all the
above in your planning for the darkroom
use.

Note: To potential
users and donors: The darkroom is in need of

needs. Donations of other items are also welcomed.

your use.
