Default Legit altering

I know the subject of altering is the dead horse that has been beaten to a pulp on this board and I'm not looking for a debate on morality, but I was wondering anyone's thoughts on professional cleaning. I have a few T3's with some light to moderate dirt/smudges on them. I sent scans to a professional art restorer and he said he can get them off no problem. I assume that if this cleaning was detected by PSA there would be an argumant for calling them altered. Can anyone explain to me why professional cleaning is totally legit for a painting but not for a card? Or should we start slabbing paintings....
