Paintings Questions
How can I clean paintings which have stayed in a humid room with cigarette smoke?
Oil paintings are on canvas, 30 to 40 years old, black ink painting on cardboard, 30 years old, watercolor on thick paper, 25 years old. All have been in a humid room where cigarette was smoked all day long. They look as if there is much dust on them.
you should probably take them to a professional or an art restorer, as trying to clean them yourself may cause damage.
It is unbelievably easy to damage paintings.
