    Please do not use a tooth brush. That will only damage the disc. Use a one to four solution of bleach and water. Let it soke for about 30min to an hour. Rinse diffuser with clean water and then your ready for action again.

    Also make sure to soak it in a dechlorinator after the bleach treatment and also only use non-scented bleach.

    I was searching an hour for this post, Thanks @ivan
    I remember reading how to clean a diffuser but cant remember the solution ratio.

    A friend gave me his CO2 Setup, still looking for needle valve and drop checker.
