My european mounts need your help!!!

Ok so i have these skulls and I cant seem to really get them clean. I have boiled them and they still have a greasy feel. I cant get them really white. Should I boil them again or what? Then how do I get them to that super white that I have seen? Some of them are a year or two old and still greasy feeling. Here is what I have done to them. You can see some are worse than others. As of right now they live in the garage but if i can get them clean they will be inside skulls. All help will be greatly appreciated
And for the record they were all taken by bow.

I have good luck with dawn or borax in the boiling water. This helps with the degreasing. Go to Sally's Beauty Supply and p/u the 40 peroxide powder and cream. Mix it up and brush it on. Put under a heat lamp to let it bake on. This should help.

The main reason they are not turning white is you are not getting the grease out of them. You need to use heated water to about 120 with clear dawn dish soap and change the water every few days until the water stays clear and not foggy. The 40 volume cream and paste will work, but a liquid peroxide works better as it will get in all crevices of the skull. Sally's carries a 20% in liquid form. It will take 5 or 6 bottles to cover a hog skull. The paste and cream is cheaper, but the liquid should do all the skulls in the picture.

And a hog skull can take many months to get all the grease out......

i boil my deer heads with some dawn from the kitchen sink in the pot, then take them to the car wash and spray them off and out real good on the soap cycle. soak in peroxide and they are soft to touch and very white in the end.

you can use 'good' ziplock bags filled with water to help displace the liquid peroxode, thus have to use as much.
