In my microbiology course, this is how we did the Schaeffer-Fulton stain:
heat fixed slides were flooded with malachite green and kept over a hot water bath for 10 minutes
slides were rinsed with water and then flooded with safranin and allowed to sit for 1 minute. Rinse with water, dry and you're good to go.
The Gram stain (crystal violet)
heat fix the slide, flood with crystal violet and let sit for 1 minute, rinse with water.
Flood the slide with iodine for 1 minute, rinse with water again.
Rinse with alcohol to decolorize for 20 seconds.
Then, flood with safranin for 30 seconds, rinse with water and dry.
