Thanks, PTD Hey PTD, I don't have the painting now so I can't double check what it said. It was original with it and the only two things I remember was to keep it out of direct sunlight and to use a clothes brush to clean it and brush in the direction of the velvet. I find those kind of just push the dust and hair around though and can never get in the corners. I just use a pet rollers with the sticky self adhesive sheets on it. They don't harm the painting and work very well. I haven't really had to use anything else. Hope this helped a little. Later, TabooDan
