You might try running white vinigar through it followed by a mild bleach solution. Then a final rinse with clean water.

Ok thanks allot guys. When you say mild bleach is that like 1/2 cup bleach to 3 cups water?

Look at the label of the bleach container. It will almost certainly describe the appropriate concentrations for sanitizing, since the manufacturers know this is one of the things people use it for.

diyoutdoorsman has the right answer.
There's even a water-cooler-disinfectant kit you can buy from various hardware stores - basically just these ingredients;
descale
disinfect
mechanical cleaner (soap/detergent)
rinse
The scale houses the bacteria and many cleaners can't access them
The bleach disinfectant kills the nasties
the detergent removes their little graveyard
and I bet you can guess what the rinse is.
*do not allow bleach and vinegar to mix.

Like diyoutdoorsman mentioned, a bleach solution will sterilize it. Just make sure you rinse all the bleach out of it afterward. Also don't spill it on your cloths, you won't like the results of that. It might have a little bleach smell for a short time but that is harmless.
