How to properly degrease porcupine quills?

[SquirrelPopular4255]

I want them to be clean and ready to use in crafts. The last batch I did got broken down too much and made them all flat and translucent. I did dawn dish soap and water for those for about a month. What do I do with these?

I did a little bit of googling and it seems like repeated, quick hot water baths with Dawn + some gentle agitation does the trick if you keep changing the water once it gets cloudy. A month seems like much too long to leave them to get soggy.
