The cleaning of a painting is a complex process and I would recommend that only a conservator should complete this treatment.

What cleaner would you recomend for one too use doing that? I’ve got canvases that are mixed media and don’t want to take any of the paint off while cleaning (acrylics, oil s , linseed & sunflower , gouach & tempras’. Would like to get them clean so one can varnish them
