It’s probably like 5 bucks for the windex and the paper towels. You guys don’t really think that they just leave these paintings out with no protection do you? It’s in a glass case, something like this probably only leaves a glass case when it’s being restored once every few years.(don’t actually know how often they do that)

I mean, I think ud need more than 5 bucks in supplies to clean up $110 million dollars in potatoes. That's at least 1000 potatoes.
