As an alternative for taps, or if you don’t like that vinegary smell, halve a lemon, squeeze out some juice, and put the half lemons on to the tap spouts. Then soak a cloth in the lemon juice and wrap around the rest of the tap. Always rinse well with plain water once cleaned. We advise creating a solution that is one-part bleach and 10 parts water. Pour this solution into the overflow tubes by removing the tank lid. Let this soak for about 5 minutes and then flush.
