When cleaning art its always best to remember a very mild abrasive is needed. I'm taking dishwashing detergent on a wet cloth. You'll guage your cleaning efforts with the lightening of the overall yellow hue....never anything oil / acetone/ alcohol based , Cleanse with soap first, continue to monitor painting  and lastly use Windsor and Newton picture cleaner. (Just went through this with my neice)--- if its really bad send it for restoration; because while the cost is high, the results will be pristine

If it is not a valuable painting I would use bread and dab at it and brush off with a very soft makeup brush.

A soft rag and dish soap in warm water.
