cleaning reprint of oil painting

[tdhieger]

Hoping someone can help my MIL out here !
Does anyone know how to clean a reprint of an oil painting that is
hanging on a wall ??? My MIL wants to clean her picture but has no idea
on how to go about this......what should she use, etc ??
Any help will be most appreciated !
Thanks !

Maybe you could call and art supply store and ask someone there. If it is a
valuable painting though I would have it done by a professional.

Check with a museum, or an art gallery, before you do anything more
than dust it.

I'm a little unclear by what's meant about a "reprint of an oil painting;"
that could cover anything from a screen print on canvas to one of those
commercially printed ink-on-cardboard pictures you can buy at K-Mart.

If the person who asked the question could give us a better idea of what
the "reprint" is made of, we might have a better shot at providing some
good answers.
