I dont know if this advise is useful, but in the 1960'ies the Danish Army Museum used white bread to clean damp-stained flags.
I dont know how they did it, but it seems to have worked. I am sure newer methods are now used, but I know close to nothing about the subject. |

The white bread rubbing is also used in superficial cleaning of oil paintings.

Maybe the same way "damasquinado de Toledo" is cleaned: 1. take a piece of white bread without crust and compact it into a ball of dough 2. tap the surface to be cleaned with the dough I was taught by one of the few remainig artisans mastering the art of damasquinado in Toledo, Spain.  maybePS: It has to be real bread, not the spongy thing you get in most of the supermartkets. |
