Is this an acceptable way of treating it or is there a more prefered way to go about its cleaning?

Hello Robert,
I think this will work, try before at a place in the back which is not visible direct. When I have seen it correct is there a small piece of wood just over one of the rotan bindings which could need some care, maybe you will be able to fix it in a better way. Be careful and don't overclean the shield.
Regards,
Detlef
