Abstract
The cleaning of pictorial surfaces with gelled systems has been raising various issues and opposite opinions regarding the presence of residues, namely of the surfactants, and whether or not they present any risks to the painting materials. In this article, a general review of the information already published about the residues in gelled systems is proposed, thus attempting to inform other conservators on this subject and encourage clearer decision-making about the operation which most risks presents to paintings, their cleaning.
