Hey, all.
I was going through the collection today and was gutted to find that my large edition Janee Meadows Lolita print has got a bit of a stain on it. I can’t tell what happened here but possible came from the rust of the folder? It’s on a thicker card stock and I’m wondering of there’s a good way of removing this at home?
The print is otherwise beautiful, though possibly one I will go onto sell, as I have to make room.
Appreciate everyone’s help.
Mould/stain removal advice.
I can't recommend anything specific, but you might take a look at products (cleaning) on a museum supply shop. I just picked a random site... maybe take a look?

I would suggest you take it to a paper conservationist first. Typically a first cursory examination can deliver an accurate assessment and present treatment options as well as a budgetary cost for restoration. If this print is dear to you, I would not recommend you attempting to restore it yourself. If the restoration budget is too high, and you decide to try to restore it yourself, I suggets you find cheaper, similar fouled specimens to practice on first. Restoration skills do take years of practice to develop.

Just trim it or reach out to PosterMountain if it is an Olly Moss...

Bit of an update.
I’ve got an appointment booked with Joanna Payne, who is a top conservator based in London. Feeling a bit better about this.
I’ve also just ordered a portfolio from Baroque Portfolios, so I’ll look forward to receiving that and reorganising my 1 sheets and screen prints and getting rid of the rusty ol’ display sleeves.
Thanks for the replies.
