What can I degrease a gray fox hide with? Will Dawn dishwashing soap work, or some other detergent I can get locally?

Hello Whitney,
I would advise you to NOT use dish washing or laundry detergents as they work off of an extremely high PH level. This could relax the skins to the point of slippage.
I would recomend that you stick with the Degreasers developed specifically for the industry as the work of a very low PH.
Epo Grip's "Blood Out/Degreaser" or "Eliminator Degreaser" are both very good products to use.
Have a great day,
Dave
Thanks Dave, I checked the PH of Dawn dishwashing liquid. It was over 3.5. Thanks again.
