When I used to play around with tails, I found it was easier to wash them when they were fresh [ after de-boning ] with dish detergent and water. Then I would soak them in Liquid -Tan [ taxidermy supply houses carry it ] pull them out and dry with a hair dryer and fine comb or brush........... or after you wash them they can be sprinkled [ fur & all ] with Borax [ found in the laundry isle at most supermarkets ] then blow dry and comb leaving them slighty damp, then applying Borax liberally to the flesh.....I found both methods better than using Kosher salt.
