Use household alcohol to clean your mounts. I tell all my customers to use alcohol. It doesnt leave any residue on the fur, and dries instantly.

Never use paper towels to clean any mounts, use old rags.

The alcohol is also great for cleaning birds.

On fish, I've seen people bring in fish that were nightmares, many like to use windex, well thats fine if the taxidermist who mounted it used a top coat/clear coat/gloss coat. So unless you know for sure, I would recommend using vinegar and water...2 tbsp. of vinegar to 1 cup of water.
