clean as much meat off as you can and heat them to about 170 degrees F and add the laundry soap, Tide, Cheer etc. and clean the rest of the meat of when it turns brown. re heat in the liquid and be sure t6o scim off the grease before removing the bones from the liquid each time.

Do as John has said but, if you want them to be a nice white color instead of greyish, dry them out after cooking, then soak for 2-10 hours in a 35% peroxide solution and dry again.
