leave cleaning treatments to professional conservators-restorers.
NEVER test cleaning yourself and NEVER use commercial cleaning products.
Proof: you can see in this video that during so called cleaning, some paint was actually removed! Just look at the colour of the cotton swab!
I am a qualified conservator-restorer. So please trust me. Be sensible to your paintings and avoid damaging them.
