I started with a acid brush, and then moved onto a nylon. The residue was being very stuborn which is why I moved onto the brass brush and dremel.
I finished outt which a fabric wheel in the dremel, the idea being to help wipe away any brass or residue that got left being in the final cleaning steps.
Try drain cleaner (or whatever the proper term for anti-clogging goo is). 10% drain cleaner, 90% cooking water, let it sit until the water is cold, and it will look like new.
Yes, it sounds weird, but it's almost impossible to properly clean the mineral buildup in the tiny holes otherwise.
Before we move to fillable bags we would soak the infusers in vinager overnight every week or two. They stayed nice and sparkling clean.
That may work with your water and filter. My water is basically a saturated mineral solution and my filter has very very small holes. I've got the weird brown tea mineral buildup on everything that comes in contact with them tea.
