Any suggestion as to how I might remove these plastic disks without
damaging the handle or the disk. The disks have been there for some time
so no doubt held in place by a little grime.


Clean the tops well and leave a damp cloth over them for a few hours,
if your water is hard soak with dilute lime scale remover. Look
carefully for a recess along the edge of the cap into which insert a
small bluntish flat blade screwdriver.


I am in a hard water area, so the problem could well be limescale. I
will try some bleach. Thank you for the suggestion.
