How to clean Misting Ceramic Discs

How to clean your Ceramic Replacement Disc [or disk] with or without a keytool

THE #1 THING TO REMEMBER TO KEEP YOUR FOUNTAIN MIST MAKER MISTING LIKE IT SHOULD
——-NEVER TOUCH THE DISC WITH YOUR FINGERS
the oils from your fingertips can ruin your replacement disc, a new disc or old one. The DISC is what makes the mist!

Our replacement ceramic discs come with a black rubber protective washer around the disc. Place a soft paper towel between your fingers and the new disk to remove the protective black rubber. …let the towel be between your fingers and disc at all times. The solid white side goes facing UP toward you, after it is placed in your mist maker.
