how do you clean an oil painting?

I have an oil painting that has been in a house with a heavy smoker for years and is quite grimy. I wanted to know if it were possible to clean it myself, and if so, how?

Grandparents have a painting of a lake.?

So, my grandparents have this old oil painting of a lake in the sunset. It has two sail boats in the distance and a red house on the hillside looking over the lake. It is signed in the bottom corners. They actually have another one signed in the left hand corner. It’s like the other side of the lake.

Anyone know any websites to tell me some information about the oil painter thanks!
The painting was signed W. Collins

Please help!! Oil painting: I use paint stripper?

I want to do an oil painting and can’t go out and buy something right away so I need things that are easily found around the house to paint and thin my oil paint with!! I just used to use paint stripper and it worked ok but I heard somewhere thats bad? Is paint stripper ok to paint with or should I use something else? are there any household common things I could use? I also don’t like using paint stripper as it smells reaaally strongly im sure its bad to be around it the whole time :/ I also have liquinin but not sure what its for, can that be used? thankyou!
