Here is my recommendation:
1. Carefully brush the disk (remember it is fragile and brittle) with a
brush (like a toothbrush).
2. Rinse the disk and place it in a very small dish. Add one drop of
bleach and a few drops of water. Cover.
3. After a day or two, carefully rinse the disk. Then place it in a water
glasss with 2 ounces of water and enough chlorine remover to treat a gallon
of water. After a few hours rinse again. All odor of chlorine (and all
chlorine) should be gone. If not, repeat this step.
This strongly oxidizing treatment should remove most all organic material.
