Before starting, ascertain whether or not it has been varnished (after the oil has set most artists seal the painting and give it a higher gloss by varnishing). If it has, just use a sponge and some warm water and light soap. If not, take it to a restorer unless it was done by uncle charlie and you don't want to spend the money....in that case same thing and after it has dried, get some varnish from a hobby store and seal it.

Try using Milton nappy sterilizer. Sounds weird but it is sodium hypochlorite in solution. Sponge it onto the surface and quickly wipe it off. Strange how an oil painting can develop mould, check out your storage environment or if this work is stored under glass: that is a no no! Careful sponging with Milton and drying with paper towel should suffice.

I've always heard lemon juice and baking soda (with water ) made a nice gentle cleanser for paintings.
