Fresh slices of a soft, doughy kind of white bread, with the crust removed. Scrub the painting gently with the bread. Change slices as it gets dirty or starts to fall apart. Use a very soft paintbrush to remove any snagged crumbs.
That tip originally came from a museum curator.
if it has any value then see a specialist
