Have it done professionally. Don't try to do this your self.

Dissolve 1 cup warm water and 1/2 cup of baking soda. Wear rubber gloves and have a bunch of cotton balls nearby. Dip cotton ball (one at a time) into the solution, squeezing most of the water off and with a circling motion, gently clean a small part of the painting (about palm size) with it and continue with others. This is very labor intensive and you just cant get a sponge and wipe the whole thing off without damaging it. Best thing to do - pay the money and let a pro do it.

Take to an art gallery or professional frame shop (not a frame shop like Michael's or anything franchised). Let a professional do it. Espe. since it's an oil painting.

Use very gentle hair shampoo - like Johnson's Baby shampoo, diluted with lots of water and a Q-tip. Rub very carefully and be alert for any harm to the paint.

If this is a valuable painting do not do it yourself, have it done professionally.
