This was easier than I thought it would be. Once removed, I sprayed all parts with a vinegar/lemon/water spray and let it sit. Then scrubbed with an old toothbrush and a toothpick. There was some corrosion to the metal that couldn't be cleaned, but I did the best I could!

I cleaned two handles from separate bathrooms. Used our vinegar and water solution as well as baking soda and water. Lots of elbow grease using a toothbrush and luffa to remove the gunkiness.
