Winsor & Newton Artists’ Picture Cleaner

A natural resin/oil emulsion containing ammonia designed for cleaning varnished paintings. It works by dissolving linseed oil oxidation and will remove surface dirt and the products of oxidation in the old varnish.
? Shake before and during use.
? Clean small areas with cotton wool pads.
? When cleaning is complete remove any remaining cleaner with distilled turpentine.
? Batch colour and settlement may vary.
It¡¯s normal for Artists’ Picture Cleaner to change color and turn brown over time. This happens because it¡¯s made from natural ingredients, and the color can vary between batches or change as it ages. This doesn¡¯t affect how well it cleans or mean it has gone bad.
As long as the cleaner is still liquid and mixes properly when you shake it, it¡¯s safe to use. Always shake the bottle well before and during use, and test it on a small area first if you¡¯re unsure.
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 but great care is necessary and the process should be stopped immediately if any colour appears to be coming off the painting.
This product cannot be shipped outside the UK as it is flammable.
