Painting Surface Cleaning and Restoration

Surface Cleaning ServicesMost paintings are displayed without the protection of glass, which leaves them exposed to dust, indoor smoke and other elements. Because of this, paintings can often become soiled over time leaving the artwork discolored or dirty. In order to extend the life of your painting, it’s crucial that you take the proper steps to clean and protect its surface.

Oil paintings are often coated in varnish and after several long decades, the varnish tends to yellow and dull with age. The yellowing of varnish will not only leave the painting discolored, but it will also hide many of the original colors used by the artist.
