The best way to clean a faucet aerator is to unscrew the aerator housing from the tip of the spout, disassemble the internal mesh screens and rubber washer, and submerge them in a cup of warm white vinegar for 30 to 45 minutes. Once the hard water calcium crust has softened, scrub the mesh gently with an old toothbrush, rinse thoroughly with clean water, and screw the aerator back onto the spout. Callout type="warning" title="Hygiene Warning": Wear rubber gloves when handling mineral residue and cleaning solutions. Verification: Turn on the faucet to verify that a smooth, strong, and even water stream is restored.
