I think the simple ones are the best.
Do you have a sticky tap? You know the type when you pull the handle down it growls, grinds and squeals at you and it won’t be long before it snaps off or breaks altogether. We haven’t shown a branded tap, but this type are all basically the same. You should use a toothbrush with hot soapy water to get rid of the sugar.
However it seems most people do not have time for this. A quick solution I have found is to put two or three drops of lime cordial on the tap handle joint at the foot of the tap handle, where it rubs against the metal plate. This works instantly you will be amazed how it works so quick, just makes you wonder what lime cordial does to your stomach.

I would use a smear of vasaline it will stay in situ lime juice will dry up
To be fair ernie I did say it was a quick solution and will last weeks. That way wasn’t always successful for me.
Best bet is when you are doing your line clean pour some of the rinse water over each tap and waggle each one a bit….job done.
