I took a couple in to a well known taxidermist in Red Deer and one came back really flakey. Thankfully it was not the one I cared most about as the second one was my son's first buck. You might want to consider stabilizing with a matt clear coat.

I usually just boil with a little Dawn dish soap to get the grease out and a wee bit of Oxyclean. This one sat frozen in the shed for the winter and I believe it made the scull a little tainted. Around the nose and jaw kind of freeze dried like leather and was a real pain. It is looking good now though not snow white. Lesson learned, laziness is never the best option.
