Default OT cleaning cine film?

I managed to rescue a lot of cine footage from a house clearance. One film
title caught my eye 'Racing at Snetterton', there turned out to be several
cine films of late 1950's to mid 1960's motor racing events taken in East
Anglia.....Problem is that the films have been stored where damp and dust
have taken their tole.
Any of you wizzes out there know the correct way to clean cine footage
without removing the image.

ttfn.....Alistair

Might be worth contacting a museum, BBC or similar - it might have some
historical value.

I'll second handing them to a museum or possibly better the National
Film Archive. The latter will at least have the facilities to store
them without further degradation.
