Smoke stain on Antlers
 
I have some old mounts that the horns have turned dark from cigarette smoke. What is the best solution to get the horns back to normal.

you can wash them with most any good cleaner.it should clean them ok. I have used laqucer thinner to remove stains.it drys really quick.
a lot of the grease removers that you use in the kitchen will work.

Try alcohol or mineral spirits! The antler is a bone and the stain soaks in deeply.I don't think you can get them back to natural color.
Very fine steel wool,for scrubbing them,may help,also.
They can be painted and re-stainded,but it is a job!
Try bleach,on a small section,this may do it {Try the bleach first}
