How can I clean paintings which have stayed in a humid room with cigarette smoke?
Murat Oguz asked:
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.

personally i wouldn’t even try…take them to someone who knows what they are doing so you don’t lose them.

An oil painting you should be able to wipe it with mineral spirits.
