Store then standing on end like Laura said. Get some cheap frames to put around the to act as spacers or dividers. Nothing should be touching the fronts of these paintings. Go to the local art store (a REAL art store, not a craft store) and they sell document cleaning solutions that you can use to safely clean hte surface of these painintgs. I've done it many times in my life slowly and patiently with a small paintbrush dipped in the cleaner.

Thank you & Laura for the good info. I emailed my friend the info, incase I forget to tell her (I'm on holidays going home tomorrow is gonna be stressful, so I my forget :P) even though I live with her lol

Thought...
We have a whole wack of that art & craft flat foam sheets. Do you think if we tape that to the back of the painting & then glue it thick to go past the front of the painting, so it touches the other foam on the other painting, that that'll be ok? & also line the bottom of the tote with the foam, so it acts as a shock obsorber.

Since you mentioned they need to breath, should I drill tiny holes at the top of the tote (under the lip, so if water falls ontop of the tote it cannot get in)???

We have to think cheap(we are quite poor), yet still save the paintings.
