Cleaning Shoulder Mounts

Dale Posted 12/6/2004 4:45 AM (#24903) Subject: Cleaning Shoulder Mounts Member Posts: 874 Location: Neenah, WI I've got a deer head that was mounted about 15 years ago and it's looking dingy. Can I clean it up myself or should I take it to a taxidermist? Any tips are appreciated. Thanks. butch Posted 12/6/2004 5:40 AM (#24904 - in reply to #24903) Subject: RE: Cleaning Shoulder Mounts Member Posts: 701 Location: upper michigan im no taxidermist but i have heard that you can spray pledge on a rag and then whipe your mount down do not spray directly on the mount spray on the rag sworrall Posted 12/6/2004 7:50 AM (#24905 - in reply to #24903) Subject: RE: Cleaning Shoulder Mounts Location: Rhinelander I literally vacuum the mount with an attachment hose and brush, then use a light spray of Pledge or comparable to clean up the 6 mounts I have. I use furniture polish on my fish mounts, too, once a month.
