<p>[QUOTE=&quot;techbiker, post: 4415495, member: 60629&quot;]I might give the saliva method a go as well. If anyone has the details on the cleaning chemicals conservators use and is willing to share though, I&#039;m all ears! I&#039;ve got some nasty, grimy (and inexpensive) paintings. These are so dark and/or yellow they are hardly worth displaying. Still, they aren&#039;t worth nearly enough (and may never be) to justify a professional clean.</p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;m searching for the following:</p><p><br /></p><p>-Cleaning agents for removing just the grime layer</p><p>-Cleaning agents to remove old varnish</p><p>-Reversible conservator&#039;s varnish</p><p><br /></p><p>I suspect that the most appropriate chemical depends on the exact composition of the grime or varnish. If the saliva method fails, I&#039;d rather not resort to a mystery cleaner on Amazon! <img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/confused.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=":confused:" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
