<p>[QUOTE="ScanticAntiques, post: 59346, member: 339"]While I've only experimented with cleaning blue/green corrosion (I have not used the frame & matting that I tried this on) We used some brass cleaner, which took the corrosion off. The areas where the corrosion was, cleaned up nicely. Now I'm just waiting to see if anything happens. As people have mentioned, sometimes changes occur awhile after cleaning, so at this point it's still an experiment. haha It's been about a week or so and it looks the same, but I'm still being cautious. </p><p><br /></p><p>For non corroded pieces, I just wipe it down with a soft cloth (Glasses/Computer soft type cloth). Luckily the majority of the time, matting is usually in good condition and only needs a quick wipe.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
