take them apart and soak them in vinegar this will loosen up all the crud and deposits an old soft toothbrush can be used to scrub them if needed, rinse them with fresh water and put them back in service

I run mine in vinegar overnight then take apart and scrub with an old toothbrush, works like a charm

Soak them in whiite vinagar. They just twist apart, you will see two tabs that line up so they pull apart.
