Looking for suggestions on how to wash and groom a bison cape.

& blow it off with alot of air pressure.
You can wash it with any Hair shampoo, it will be a pain in the butt to do but I wash all of mine & they come out clean & smelling very nice, Make sure to rince it thouroghly, then blow it off & start grooming. & be prepaired to do it for a while.
A lot of the Loose hair will be removed as you are grooming so dont worry when you have a pile under the mount.
Blowing it with air will help dry out hair.
Good luck
Take the cape to the car wash and blast the crud out of the hair. I recently did this to a bison cape (after it was tanned) and it worked like a charm. Then take home, spin if possible, blow with compressed air and mount. Good luck!
