Alreet.i've managed score some quite large antlers from a. Friends dad. Originally I was intending too chop them up for projects but the more I look at them I can't bring myself too do it. So I wanna clean them up see how they look n maybe wall mount them.any one no the best way too get the crud off.

Start with a stiff nail brush and fairy liquid. Next step is a soak in biological laundry liquid and a hose. If the skull is stained and you want to whiten it use hydrogen peroxide. On no account use household bleach, it rots the bone.
