This summer, I  started using liquid tide, and I love it! I use it after I rinse out all the Dawn. It seems to take away a lot of the Dawn soap bubbles.

Same here, wash with Dawn after the wheel and then liquid tide.   I would consider not using Tide with Bleach.   I tried that and have had issues with the skin ripping too easy.  I switched back to Tide with downy and issues went away.

one thing i do is wash mine in nothing for a minute or two after fleshing.do this in as wrm of water as you can stand.let em sit for a few minutes. pull em out and drain the sink.wipe/spray out the sides of the sink to make sure you are not washing birds in the same funk you are trying to get off.fromn this point is when i add my tide with downy.i typically will wash in this right after i have skinned them and want to get all the dirt and and blood off the skins.from that point i will wet freeze the skins to mount another day.the liquid tide will have removed the dirt/blood/ ect so when i thaw the bird out to mount it, after degreasing, it goed in to sink with dawn but only after the sink is cleaned and the clear water has been used to get as much fat ect off
