I used a five gallon bucket and dawn dish soap. There was no way my family would let a stinking flea filled coyote pelt in the house sink.
The wringer on the washer is something I might want though. My pelts took way too long to dry.

I wring by hand, don't want to hurt any of the hair, and wrap in a towel for a while, Stretch skin side out like normal, flip it like normal. As soon as you can do a little comb job as it's drying to orient the hair correctly, and continue as needed as it dries. They turn out beautiful.

The air compressor Is your best friend when I comes to dying fur. It only takes a few minutes blow most of the water out of the fur And It will fluff up that fur while your at It.
Wet rats out of the back of the truck. A few good blasts and your done and you can start skinning right away.
No skinning shed should be with out one.

^^^^ Same principle, but I use a leaf blower. Either way, works great.

ldw I agree my leaf blower operates on pennies were as my compressor not so much! but its hard to match the psi's you get from a compressor
