my question is what is the best way to basically just clean the skull no european mount no lower jaw just clean it. customer does not want any bleach just clean. if i boil and use the sal soda solution and it gets on the antlers them selves will it discolor or turn antlers white at all? any help or other solutions on cleaning would be great thank you

Just soak it in a container of plain water for a couple of weeks. Wash it off and put it back in until its clean, then let it dry in the sun for a few days were the dogs can't get it.
Bury the skull up to the antlers. Leave for a month or two. Spray out the dirt. Might want to put something over the antlers to keep the dogs off of it. No smell this way.
and it will be fine. try not to soak it too long and try to keep as much of the antlers as possible out of it. i've never had a problem with it.
