Anyone have experience cleaning oil paintings?

I now have one that was done in the 70s and lived until now in a smoke filled home.


Thanks, it was my mom's and I can't really afford to have it done professionally at the moment.Anyone have experience cleaning oil paintings?
Having been a picture restorer, and having had to repair the damage done by inexperienced people trying a little DIY, my advice is to leave well alone. You could easily make a very expensive mistake.


Wait until you can afford to have it done professionally.
