Just put some salt in some sink water and give it a scrub with a toothbrush.

hi thanks for that we already took it out once and soaked overnight in a fungus medicine ,and it as still returned ,one shop told us to get rid ,will salt do the job ,it is a very large unusual piece we couldnt even fit it in a dustbin to soak how much salt would you put in the water to clean it and is it household salt or aquarium salt ,will it harm the fish

Table salt will be fine just tip loads of salt in , just scrub it then add some clean water add some more salt and let soak for a while, then rinse.
