painting cleaning?

Hi group, what can I use to clean a old oil painting I have on the wall,
without damaging it?

Fresh slices of a soft, doughy kind of white bread, with the crust
removed. Scrub the painting gently with the bread.
Change slices as it gets dirty or starts to fall apart.
Use a very soft paintbrush to remove any snagged crumbs.

That tip originally came from a museum curator.
