I believe this question is best answered by objects conservators on the
Cons DistList; see below

The ConsDir is available at the same site.
I believe there is literature in the CoOL archive on this subject. If
the Lucite box is an art object, then I would have a conservator look at
it. There may be components that should not be cleaned. To learn how to
select a Conservator and obtain a referral contact AIC at URL:

If it is a vitrine, then try cleaning with Brillianize (sp?), a product
that can be bought through museum and conservation suppliers or through
your local Plexiglas supply store such as Cadillac Plastics or Tap
Plastics.
