A composition and method for cleaning surfaces having deposits, such as drink water tanks, supply water wells, water filtration systems, and distributor water lines. The composition contains in combination a cleaning solution and a disinfectant, such as hydrogen peroxide or peracidic acid. The cleaning solution can include hydrochloric acid and/or phosphoric acid in combination with inhibitors, dyes and water. The composition is applied to deposits which have formed on these surfaces. L'invention porte sur une composition et sur un procédé de nettoyage de surfaces présentant des dépôts telles que des surfaces de réservoirs d'eau potable, de puits artésiens d'alimentation, de systèmes de filtration de l'eau et de conduites de distribution d'eau. Cette composition renferme en combinaison une solution de nettoyage et un désinfectant tel que le peroxyde d'hydrogène ou l'acide peracidique. La solution de nettoyage peut comprendre l'acide chlorhydrique et/ou l'acide phosphorique en combinaison avec des inhibiteurs, des colorants et de l'eau. La composition est appliquée sur les dépôts qui se sont formés sur ces surfaces.
