Hey there,
I have some elk ivories from the past season. I was told putting them in a cup of water with a few drops of dawn soap would be great for loosening all the crud on them and then allow you to easily scrape it off. I did this, however then got busy and forgot about them. The water evaporated out and now the ivories are died blue from the dawn soap! Ive tried scrubbing them with a rag and also just soaking them in straight water, nothing has worked. Does anyone have an idea how to get blue/ green color off of them? Thanks and I dont think I'll be trying the soap method again.
