OK. I am new and learning.

A lot of times after I skin my critter and turn them back fur side out, they've gotten blood all over the fur from head/mouth.

I hate that. Would like to try and sell my furs frozen flat and green.

How can they be cleaned or otherwise not get blood on them?

I know CCO puts them in a washing machine, but he puts them up to dry and I don't have an extra washing machine.

A dryer converted to a fur tumbler with some corn cob horse bedding does a very good job. You can often get an old dryer for free off the curb or really cheap. Converting them to run off 110 is easy and you just cover the holes in the drum with good gorillia tape. I replied at the following link with more info on that... fur tumbler

You can also put the critters head in a nitrile glove when you get them hung up before you start skinning to catch some of the blood.

You can also leave them set a day before skinning them so the blood coagulates and they don't leak so bad, but as we all know they can be tougher to skin once they are cold depending on the critter type.

Rub the area with Borax. Or spray it with Peroxide and wipe with a paper towel. Or both if its bad.

I buy spray Hydrogen Peroxide from the $1 store. For the borax I place the fur over a small tub and rub it into the fur. works great if they are already boarded fur out. Let the excess fall into the tub to be re used.

I use the borax method as well. Gets all of the mud and blood out of them. Although I don’t use it on beaver or otter
