“…For modern and contemporary oil paintings that are often left unvarnished and displayed unglazed, it can be challenging to remove surface-dirt that sits directly on the painted surface, whilst preserving as far as possible the appearance of the surface and physicochemical integrity of the artwork. This is particularly the case for paints with soft and/or deteriorated surfaces such as acrylic dispersion-based paints and some modern oil paints which can be vulnerable to the effects of solvents and mechanical action [8,9].…”

Nanoindentation and dynamic mechanical analysis were used to measure changes in the surface and bulk mechanical properties of Winsor & Newton Yellow Ochre oil paint films following exposure to deionized water, aliphatic mineral spirits (Shellsol D40™), and D5 silicone solvent (decamethylcyclopentasiloxane). Yellow ochre paint films were exposed to the selected solvents by 24-h immersion, and sponge-cleaning. 24-h immersion in deionised water and Shellsol D40 caused measurable changes to bulk and surface mechanical properties. However, there were no measurable changes to the bulk or surface mechanical properties following sponge cleaning.
