well I am not sure as to what the lime is, but the best thing to do is just put boiliung water in it, and boil all the other things.

You also can do a diluted bleach rinse, but I have never been a fan of that.

salt and vinger have been recommanded to but what ever u use make sure u rinse it oh so well afterwards

Just scrub it with hot water and a scourer/toothbrush. Vinegar works too, as does salt water and ammonia. Amminia is ver safe because any you don't rinse off goes towards the cycle.

Vinegar wil remove lime deposits. Rinse well aferwards,

I'd say unless it is so gross it will not come off with just rubbing it with a little diluted vinegar on a cloth, you should soak it in some dilluted vinegar
