  • 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.
