[Closed] Cleaning Lezyne bladder

I have a Lezyne back pack with a 3 litre bladder which needs a good clean (gone a bit mouldy). I have tried to detach the pipe from the bladder and the mouthpiece but it is pretty firmly attached. Has anyone had to do this? How much force can I apply? Will it be replaceable?

Or do I just bin it and get a new one?

Miltons Sterilising Tablets, fill it up, leave it for 24 hours, mould gone! You may have to go it again, but it works very well.

Haven't tried it with the Lezyne, but when my Camelbak tube needed force to remove I just put it in boiling water for a bit to soften it up.

Thanks guys.

The mouthpiece came off after application of hot water, the bladder end turned out to be threaded. Now for the Milton's fluid.
