Step-by-Step Cleaning Process:
Remove the Aerator:
Unscrew the mesh aerator from the tap using an adjustable wrench. The aerator helps regulate water flow and acts as a filter.
Prepare the Cleaning Solution:
Place the aerator in a small container.
Sprinkle a couple of teaspoons of citric acid over the aerator.
Pour boiling water into the container and stir to dissolve the citric acid. The reaction will start immediately, with gas bubbles forming and water stone particles loosening.
Cleaning Action:
Allow the aerator to soak in the solution for about 5 minutes. You may cover the container partially to retain heat and aid the cleaning process.
After 5 minutes, you will notice the water stone flakes detaching from the aerator. Gently assist the process with a knife if needed.
Final Steps:
Once cleaned, reinstall the aerator back into the tap.
Test the water flow to ensure it is smooth and free from splashing.
