Cleaning and conservation of paintings 

Cleaning paintings is an important part of the conservation process for artworks. Over time, paintings can accumulate surface dirt, dust, nicotine, or other pollutants that can affect their original appearance and color. Using professional techniques and materials, paintings can be cleaned gently and carefully. Cleaning involves removing dirt, old varnish, and other impurities without damaging the original paint layers. This restores the painting's clarity, color saturation, and details, helping to prolong its lifespan. Cleaning paintings is best performed by experienced restorers who have expertise in the preservation of artworks.
