Cleaning supplies

Hey everyone, i decided im gonna downgrade my tank for the winter months, so that means im bringing a 20L back from my basement after who knows how long, but far over a year, and my basement is about as bad as it get mildew wise. I was wondering what kind of household cleaners would be best. I figured anything would work as long as i rinse it enough, but im wondering whats the most common/effective.

Bleach will kill mold/mildew :)

Depending on how bad it is mildewed, you could try bleach and water. If it is super bad, then maybe try a bathroom cleaner specifically for mold and mildew, but you would definitely have to make sure that it was thoroughly rinsed and aired out before using it...

yea thats what i was thinking of using

Bleach will kill any mold or mildew on the spot! Just wash with soap and water after!

Hot soap and water, scrub well. Mix a 10% bleach solution, and spray or cover the tank with it--let sit for 5 minutes, then rinse very well until you don't smell the bleach in the tank anymore.
