you can use windex on the hair just spray on a soft rag and wipe down
on the hide part use a leather preserve like for horse saddles dont use veggie oil. just kepp working it in an it should be fine

Konigsberg: yeah I know what is Taxonomy (especially of plant species and Genera)
Taxidermy was a void in my knowledge. Big help Dan Really Big thank you.
Hope in a country of Beavers i'll find the right taxidermist ( i need only one lol)
Hi there Konigsberg--your neighbor here- I just looked up Taxidermist up in the Yellow pages in the phone book and sure enough it was there. Good luck to you, you have a very valuable hide there.

Hey there. You're right, not many of us hunters left. Since you said the skin was an old one, I assume it has already been tanned by some taxidermist. To make the skin side more pliable, any sort of saddle/leather cream will work (not vegy oil, please!). Go visit your local leather shop and I'm sure they can show you several options that will work. For the hair side, a rag damp with windex will clean off the dust and give you a shine. Just don't use too much and never spray directly on the hair. Make sure your strokes are always 'with' the hair so it lays down smooth.
Best of luck.
Best of luck.

Perhaps a taxidermist can help but to truly preserve the hyde you would want a conservator that specialises in anamal hydes. If you can't find a conservator in your phone book then call a local museum and ask who they consort with. However be warned a conservator will be pricy and time consuming.
Other sugestions would be to not use windex , its full of chemicals that may bring temporary results but will certainly do harm. You may also search on the web for Vivian Kistler who is a reconised expert in the field of textile preservation.

Missed this thread orginally, but if it's not too late - Stay away from the Windex! It will make the hair look better initially, but it will also break the hide down over time.
Having said that - and having considerable experience with this type of thing, from brain tanning to preserving old hides - A cup of cornmeal massaged into the hair hair side then combed or brushed out will not only clean it, but provide vital oils to the hair as well as leave a beautiful shine. (Deer hair is hollow and as a result is subject to breaking easily if not cared for properly.) You shouldn't need anything for the hide itself if it was properly tanned initially, but if its dry/cracking, then a very thin coat of neetsfoot oil massaged into the hide should be all it needs.
Good luck!

Konigsberg: I've got a pece of beautiful albino Deer hide. It seems like a very old one. It has had so many dust and stuff inside the hairy side, when i began to work on it.
So now i'm a tad puzzled ... How i can bring shines and softness to the hair? And if it is possible to use any vegy oil on a skin part?
