RTF Posted March 30, 2008 Report Share Posted March 30, 2008 Feather duster, compressed air, vacuum , damp rag etc..... Do not use any chemicals to remove yellowing from deer. Send it out to your taxidermist to be done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HUNTINGMAN Posted April 1, 2008 Report Share Posted April 1, 2008 Just a damp rag. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest longspur69 Posted April 1, 2008 Report Share Posted April 1, 2008 If it's a bird, use a swiffer pad that goes on the end of those swiffer mops. Just lightly go over the feathers with the grain of the feather. The pads have a magnetic charge that pulls the dust out. You'll be amazed at how dirty the pad gets even when used on an apparently clean bird. It probably would work on mammals and everything else.

Bowtech_archer07 Posted April 1, 2008 Report Share Posted April 1, 2008 I have rack mounts with felt over them and I use a tooth brush to clean the felt off, then a rag to clean the antlers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shockwave Posted April 2, 2008 Report Share Posted April 2, 2008 This might sound funny but my brother has used a slice of white bread to clean his mounts.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's the same advice my taxidermist gave me for cleaning my duck mounts. Feather duster and swiffer sheets. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest pcm Posted May 28, 2008 Report Share Posted May 28, 2008 My Dining room chandelier was full of dust and tar/nicotene. It was my grandfathers Red Stag and it was dirty.......Took it outside and scrubbed it with ammonia and water. hosed it down and let it dry for about a week.. Re-mounted it. WOW! NOW it looks like a red stag! "WAIDMANNS HEIL" Pete Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wtnhunt Posted June 2, 2008 Report Share Posted June 2, 2008 Use the vacuum with a brush attachment for the deer, and a damp rag for the antlers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
