Distilled water is most likely the first choice. If by hazy you mean overall
density this may mean the image is becoming oxidized. You did not mention
just how old the plate was.

..Subject: cleaning glass negs
..
..
..Hi all,
..
..I'm new to this list so I thought I should introduce
..myself. I have been interested in historical methods
..for some time and have finally got around to my first
..experiments with salted paper. The pictures aren't
..perfect yet but I've been making progress.
..
..The question I have is about some glass negs I bought
..a while ago. I probably know the answer to this
..already but what I am wondering is if there is a way
..to clean the emulsion side of the neg. There was a
..lot of dirt that came off the glass side, and it would
..be nice to print without the extra "haze".
..
..Any suggestions are welcome. Glad to be part of the
..group here.
..
..David Barker
