How to clean a mixer aerator
The aerator is the mesh at the end of the spout. Chalk often clogs it, and the stream goes crooked.
- Unscrew the aerator from the spout tip. A cloth keeps the chrome from being scratched.
- Rinse the mesh, and if the holes look white, soak it in warm vinegar.
- Rinse it again and screw it back until it is snug by hand.
- Open the tap. A crooked stream means the mesh is still clogged or the washer is missing.
