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.

I saw a few YT videos of people saying that they just spray paint the skulls. Not much work at all. And easy to touch up. I'm not saying that I wouldn't do that in the future, but doing this first one by myself, I wanted to experience all the steps I took. And I also learned a lot.
