Can I clean an old painting myself?
Cleaning an old painting yourself is usually not a good idea. Even a little rubbing or using things like soap or cleaner can hurt the colors and damage the picture forever. Old paintings are very delicate and can get ruined easily. If the painting just looks a bit dusty, you can gently wipe off the dust with a soft, dry brush. Don’t use water, spray, or any cleaning liquids. For anything dirtier than that, it’s safest to ask a professional art cleaner. They know exactly how to clean the painting without harming it.
