What you'll need:

1. A new, soft, make up brush or toothbrush

2. Cotton swabs

3. Warm water

4. Clean rag

What to do:

Take the piece off the wall, if it makes you more comfortable, and set it on a steady table. If this piece is covered in glass, use a cotton cloth and window cleaner. Spray the window cleaner on the cloth—rather than the glass directly—and wipe the glass clean. If the piece has a frame but no glass, use a damp, clean, cotton cloth and wipe it clean while avoiding the art that it surrounds.

Start with a soft makeup brush that has not been previously used for makeup and dust off the top layer of your artwork. Be very gentle. If that doesn’t seem to be doing the trick, grab a damp, clean, soft rag and wipe the surface gently. Use cotton swabs or cotton balls to get the little nooks and crannies.
