Bleach is available from your supermarkets, and hydrogen peroxide from your pharmacies... both can be bought off the shelf... Peroxide may be the safer to try as a good rinse after treatment should render it safe for use... with bleach you need to make sure residual chlorine is removed before using your diffusor again. Having said that, I used bleach in the past without problems... but I soaked the items overnight in water + lots of anti-chlorine before reuse.

soak until your diffuser goes back to the original colour.
which should be white.
soaking for a day should be sufficient.
just make sure that the diffuser is cleaned of bleach.
yes! household bleach will do.
