I have several reels of film that have a faint smell. The are not warped or stretched. Is this the start of my films turning vinegar.?

Any ideas of film cleaner to get rid of the smell?

Thank you for your help.

Are they smelling like vinegar? Film can have smell from processing chemicals or cleaners. Have the films been stored i cans? If so, let them breath lots of fresh air.
