One excellent way is to a use a "dry sponge". These are used to clean up smoke/fire damage, and by some museums to clean oil paintings. Another way is to go over the painting with a soft bristled brush.

I am an artist and I had cleaned my oil paintings that have been soiled with this product - Winsor & Newton Artists's Picture Cleaner. This product is available in your local artstore or if you prefer from an artist supplies website.
Winsor & Newton Artist's Picture Cleaner is a liquid which dissolves linseed oil oxidation and cleans soiled oil paintings. It contains an emulsified mixture of Copaiba balsam, dipentene, and pine oil with ammonia. The liquid settles out in two layers. Thinning is not recommended.

Please don't use a sponge and water. You should brush off any dust or dirt with a soft brush and really that's all. You can also take away years of grime with white spirit but I don't recommend it if you've not done it before.

Very carefully, with a damp cloth or sponge.
No cleansers, or soap. Just water
