Abstract: A method for continuously processing silver halide color photographic materials using a roller conveyor type of an automatic developing apparatus, comprising:cleaning the entire surface of a roller located over solution surface of at least one of processing baths in the automatic developing apparatus in which at least one of said processing baths comprises the color developing bath by a rinsing water replenisher or a stabilizing replenisher as a substitute for the rinsing water replenisher, andintroducing the cleaning solution into the color developing bath containing at least one organic preservative selected from the group consisting of compounds represented by formulae (I), (II), (III) and (IV) and monosaccharides; ##STR1## wherein R.sup.11 and R.sup.12 each represents hydrogen atoms, unsubstituted or substituted alkyl groups, unsubstituted or substituted alkenyl groups, unsubstituted or substituted aryl groups or hetero aromatic groups, provided that both of R.sup.11 and R.sup.

Abstract: A photosensitive material to which an image has been exposed is successively dipped into treatment liquid such as developer wherein development or other treatment is conducted. The photosensitive material drawn out from each treatment liquid is held by holding rollers and the treatment liquid is wiped off. Since washing water is supplied to these holding rollers to wash and wipe off the treatment liquid from the photosensitive material and the water is supplied to the treatment chambers, the holding rollers can be kept clean.

Abstract: A light-sensitive material feeding rack for feeding a light-sensitive material along a feeding path within a processing tank by holding the material between paired feed rollers. The rack has guide plates extending along the feeding path for guiding the material to the light-sensitive material entrance side of the paired feed rollers. These guide plates are each rotatable about the ends thereof that are closer to the light-sensitive material entrance side. When the rack is to be cleaned, the guide plates are rotated so as to open the interior of the rack, thereby facilitating the cleaning of the rack. After the completion of cleaning, the guide plates are rotated in the opposite direction to be returned to their original condition. Even after the returning of the guide plates, the positional relationship between the feed rollers and the end portions of the guide plates that are closer to the entrance side can be very precisely maintained.
