Cleaning canvas pictures

aurora_borealis_2

I have a set of three large prints that live in my kitchen.
Over time, they have yelloed slightly.

Any ideas how to approach this?

If they are made out of canvas with wood frames, then I would wash them down with a hose - my husband is an artist and recently got back some paintings he had displayed in a gallery - they were really grubby - he hosed them down in the garden and are now perfect. Make sure you don't scrub them or use chemicals as it will effect the colour and picture. Good luck!

I was brutal.

They're not framed - they're Ikea prints.

I used diluted washing up liquid and a microfibre cloth - not so good.
Then, randomly, carpet cleaner - that did it!

A well done! Glad they cleaned up! It's amazing how they can discolour over time.
