Question: I need help cleaning a stained glass portrait!?
my landlords daughter gave me a beautiful stained glass portrait that her mother had made of a dragon!. it has been appraised for quite a bit of money and its huge, a full size portrait!. the problem is it has been around for a while and it starting to get a bit dirty and its losing its shine!. my landlord told me that i couldn't clean it like i would regular glass and that it needed to be cared for carefully, and unfortunately she moved before she could show me how!. can anyone give me some information on cleaning it and keeping it nice and shiny or posting a link with some good info!?
here is some pictures of it:

Your panel is beautiful!. You can clean it with soft cloth and mild dish soapy water!. Do not soak the panel or you'll have all sorts of problems!. Rinse by wiping with a clean damp cloth, dry thoroughly and polish with dry cloth!. You can use a little furniture polish (sprayed onto a cloth - not onto the glass) to give it a nice shine but wait a day or two after washing!. What a wonderful gift!. Enjoy it!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
