| So what would you use to remove finger prints, fingerprint oils, food soilage, dirt etc.. from comics. Is it possible for an amateur to do this without damaging the book? Is it considered restoration that would get you a purple lable from CGC? GG

| I believe if you use chemicals that's no longer considered dry cleaning, and therefore is definately restoration. I think there is some debate much like pressing, whether dry cleaning would be considered conservation rather than restoration. let me just throw in my 2 cents. To me if you are removing problems that were added to the book, like oily finger prints or food soiling or even pencil marks, without doing any damage then you are conserving not restoring. The key of course is "without doing any damage". And I think this is where the subjectivity comes in. GG

Dry cleaning is not restoration. It can be done by just about anyone. Just go to an art store and buy one of those white erasures. It takes off dirt really nicely.
