I keep an old toothbrush for this.

How about a vinegar and bicarbonate mixture left on it for 10 mins or so then put a j cloth behind the tap and rub back and forth…if that makes sense?!

No problems with cleaning round the 'normal' taps in our bathroom and kitchen (use a toothbrush!) but those pesky taps in the downstairs toilet are on a corner sink and very close to the wall. I've tried everything to get behind them. Recently bought a selection of wire brushes but they are useless bend very easily and don't scrub hard enough! Resorted yesterday to a cocktail stick - but yes, it kept breaking. Do I need to grow a curly finger nail or is there a better solution please?
