Winsor & Newton Artists' Picture Cleaner 75ml

Winsor & Newton Drying Oils Mediums

A natural resin/oil emulsion containing ammonia designed for cleaning varnished paintings. It works by dissolving linseed oil oxidation and removing surface dirt and oxidation products in the old varnish.

Please note, however, that a picture that needs to have old varnish removed should be entrusted to a competent picture restorer. Unvarnished paintings may also be treated with Artists’ Picture Cleaner. Still, great care is necessary, and the process should be stopped immediately if any colour appears to be coming off the painting.
