Curious what people with OG art work use to clean/dust their art?
I bought a swiffer duster (non scented), feels softer then a microfiber cloth. Haven't used it yet.

I am not kidding, use bread without the crust. The doughier the bread the better. It is an actually method to clean art to museum quality, look that fudge up.

Monday is maintenance day at most Museums. One of the routine maintenance job is dusting artwork and frames. The actual artwork is dusted less frequently. I use a series of very soft Chinese Hake brushes.

I'm pretty sure any decent art supply store will have these. If you can go to the store and buy them it might be best so you can feel to make sure they are soft. Some Hake brushes are rather still.
