    Found a few antlers this year that I would like to try to clean up a little bit.

    I do not want them bright white but would like to see if I can get the grass stains off a couple of them. I'm assuming water is good enough for the dirt but would like to get more of the green out of them.

    Anything I can use that wont ruin the shed or make it too white?

    I just submerge them in a pot of low boiling water without letting the antlers touch any part of the pot (have them hanging or sitting on a rack at the bottom). Don't use any chemicals.

    Wash it with warm water and dawn liquid.
