Also about once a week you can take one of the compressed air can,s ( used for your computer Keyboard) and spray it off to keep it from getting a build-up
Take a lint free rag, spray some Pledge on the rag(don't spray the mount), wipe it down. You can use the Pledge a little more liberally on the antlers. This is how my Taxi told me to care for my mounts.
Do not smoke in the same house as your mounts. That will get them so cruddy that even an expert cleaner/restorer will have trouble fixing em up.
A long time ago I heard that fine sawdust with cleaning fluid sprinkled on it and mixed thoroughly is useful for cleaning fur skins. In the old days it wasn't that hard to pick up cleaning fluid at a drugstore but might be more difficult to find these days. Anyway, one was supposed to gently work the sawdust into the fur and then either shake or blow it out. Hollow haired mounts like deer, elk, moose, and antelope might require more delicate treatment because the hair breaks off much easier. Good luck and let us know what you find. I only mount the horns so it's not an issue for me. The critters I shoot are way too big for an ordinary house.

Every once in a while I take them outside and blow them off with an air compressor.

I lightly vacume mine with the brush attachment.
