Winsor & Newton Artist’s Picture Cleaner 75ml

Winsor & Newton Artist’s Picture Cleaner is a trusted solution for gently restoring varnished oil paintings. Formulated with a natural resin/oil emulsion containing ammonia, it dissolves linseed oil oxidation and lifts surface dirt without harming the paint layer. This cleaner is ideal for artists and conservators who want to refresh aged artwork while preserving its integrity.

To use, shake the bottle thoroughly before and during application. Clean small areas at a time using cotton wool pads, and always remove any residue with distilled turpentine. Because batch colour and settlement may vary, test on a discreet section first. While it can be used on unvarnished paintings, extreme caution is advised—stop immediately if any colour lifts.

This cleaner is not intended for removing entire varnish layers; for that, consult a professional restorer. However, for routine maintenance or light restoration, it offers a safe and effective way to revive your artwork’s original vibrancy.
