I once saw a maintenance guy from a water company clean a water dispenser with chlorine. I had a chat with him and he explained that the chlorine breaks down in sunlight making it safe to use after (Yes the dispenser was near a window).

Since that time I've soaked my bottles in a chlorine solution for a few hours, then wash them in dish washing detergent.

milton strerelising fluid, its used on babies milk bottles and does not have a bleachy aftertaste.

Take off, nuke the entire site from orbit. It's the only way to be sure.

False teeth cleaning tablets. You can get a tube of 20 from Tesco for 59p. Fill bottle with warm water chuck in a tablet and it will fizz up as it dissolves. Leave for half an hour rinse out, let it dry and it will be fresh as a daisy. Works on drink bladders as well.
