Default Cleaning mounts




My mounts go back 20 years or so and I just finished my game room.I need to clean them up ,I used the air compresser to blow them off.Is there any thing else I can do to freshen them up?What should I wipe the antlers and horns off with?What about cleaning fish ,rugs ,eyes and noses?I am almost ready to post photos.

A slightly damp cloth is all you should need. Don't use any cleaners, as there should be no need.

As Magis said, a damp cloth should do it. I have heard of poeple cleaning old mounts with Windex...just go light. Take your time on the eyes and noses...use a Q-tip to get into small places.
