I rinse the Warthin-Starry in hot water to remove the developer (has gelatin
in it) then rinse in cold water.  I suppose it depends on the stain.

Does anyone have the reasoning behind people washing the slides in hot
water after a special stain?  I have always been taught to use cold water
washes.
