Tell me how to cleanse my bones.

If you want to cleanse bones inside a body, I can’t help you, and you should probably seek professional help.
If they’re outside a body, remove all the flesh and fat that you can, soak it in water (DONT boil it) and put it in a warm location where the smell wont bother you. Dump out the nasty water every few days and replace it. If you have a garden, it does wonders for plants, especially fruit-producing plants like tomatoes. Once the water runs clear after two days, soak it in hydrogen peroxide (drugstore strength works fine).
Voila! Bone prepared! Granted, it takes a few weeks, but it’s a MUCH better specimen than a boiled bone.
You can also bury the bones underground during the warmer months (depending on where you live) and dig them up a month or two later. You may have to re-bury them if the temperature hasn’t been high enough, but if you do that, you can soak the bones to get the dirt off for about two days, whiten the bones, and have the same result.
Do you have a dead monkey? Well, first off, you probably shouldn’t. But for a large number of bones that need to be cleaned, meet your new best friend:
