Getting the old melted rubber off my Juliets

I am cleaning up a pair of Juliets. The rubber has melted to the frame and there is a little green mildew growing on them. Any good ideas on how to clean these up? I was thinking toothpaste. Before i do that any proven methods?

I would try 91% Alcohol with paper towels or other throw-away towels... whatever towel you use with be pretty gross/ruined.

No biggie at all. Clean them to your best ability. Linegear out of Japan has great kits. Since you’re in Florida PM me. I have lots of unobtainable kits for Juliet’s. Good luck!
 
Media blasting works, for sure.

I'm going to assume a sonic cleaner wouldn't do diddly squat. They work great for jewelry, but I just don't see it working for removing that level of "adhesion"

I've taken an xacto knife and gently scraped away the gunk for a set that I wear everyday that I got off eBay.

The discoloration cannot be reversed, without being resurfaced.
