I just change the cleaning solvents when I change the processing solvents. I
discard the cleaning solvents, and also the first absolute alcohol and the
first xylene of the processing series.  I use the second xylene and absolute
alcohol of the processing series to replace the cleaning solvents.  Then I
move the third xylene and absolute up to the first position, and replace the
later solvents with fresh reagent.
