Rinxe out with water every day when they get cleaned out and then have a vinegar solution once a week.

Yes and it removes staining/limescale etc fantastic stuff
I use kitchen towel or loo roll soaked in white vinegar inside a small freezer/sandwich bag applied to the end of tap spouts to remove limescale. Left for a few hours or even overnight the limescale just slides off. We're in a very hard water area so I do this about three times a year!
Charlie is in a hutch at the mo although he is loose
Yes i put a tray inside his hutch so he isnt lying in his wee. xxxxxxx

With Dettol you need to ensure that everything has dried afterwards as it contains Benzal Komium (sp) chloride. This causes ulceration of mouth, tongue and oesophagus. Respiratory effects and is incredibly irritating to eyes.
If allowed to dry absolutely completely there shouldn't be a problem. If there is any dampness the rabbits should not have access.
With Bleach chlorine gas can be a problem, however if used outdoors and dried thoroughly this should not be a problem.

Vinegar is cheaper than dettol and will do the same job
Off to tescos to get white vinegar then, i use a standard sized bottle of dettol a week at the mo

You won't need much of it either and tbh if you can't get white vinegar the normal stuff works just as well
You might find putting it into a trigger spray helps with the amount you use

Well unfortunately as I've just found out (just been with a friend to get her bun vaccinated) a lot of vets don't have a flamin clue :roll:
It is fine ... if it is allowed to dry properly. :?
