Ilford Washaid is a hypo-eliminator specially designed to facilitate the effective removal of thiosulphate byproducts resulting from the fixation process through ion exchange.

This solution is particularly valuable for expediting the washing of fiber-based photographic papers. Additionally, it can be employed to accelerate the rinsing process for all black-and-white films and fiber papers, ultimately conserving both time and water. It proves especially beneficial when a hardening fixer has been utilized in the photographic process.

Ilford Washaid is provided in a liquid concentrate form, requiring dilution at a ratio of 1 part solution to 4 parts water, suitable for use with both film and paper.

Ellie ★★★★★

Finally got around to testing this with my darkroom prints, and the ion-exchange action really cut my wash time in half compared to just water. The 1L bottle lasts longer than I expected for the price.

Nicholas H. ★★★★★

My last batch of prints had stubborn cloudy spots that just wouldn't rinse out, but a short soak in this washaid cleared them completely. The ion exchange process really does its job on the fixer residue, and a liter goes a long way for multiple sessions.

James ★★★★★

The ion exchange action actually does what it promises—my prints come out of the final wash with no lingering hypo smell, and I’ve cut my water usage by about a third. One liter has lasted me through dozens of sessions, so it’s a solid value for the chemistry.
