Every year, my hunters leave the farm after butchering their deer and somehow neglect to thoroughly clean my tools they used. Trusty tomahawks & saws, mostly. The fat/gore is admittedly hard to get off and leaves a coating that is nasty. This year, I tried a different approach beyond "Dawn" - toothpaste, stiff brushes, hot water, and elbow grease. Not exactly rocketry, but "nasty is nasty" & I hate nasty. Used the same for knives - those tiny crevices especially. For some reason, our normal dish soap won't cut deer tallow.

When you're done, replace your wife's toothbrush in the bathroom. Paste, also.
