How do you whiten a deer skull with baking soda?
Add a dash of dish detergent as a degreasing agent and don’t actually boil, but simmer. Add a cup of baking soda to start, but be careful it doesn’t cause the brew to boil over. Use a pot big enough to completely submerge the skull. (Don’t boil your record-book bear or lion, as boiling will shrink the skull a bit.)
