Spring is on it's way and for some of us that means spring cleaning, we've all got the closets that need to be cleaned out, yard work that needs to be started, garage that could use some organization but have you thought about your Delta faucets ? I bet not,  think about the faucets in your home, are there some that when you turn it on sprays this way and that way, or the pressure is not what it used to be, you can bet these are the ones that may need a bit of spring cleaning.

The cause of this could be mineral deposits which can accumulate on either on the fixture themselves or clog up your aerator, these mineral deposits can flake off and end up in your drinking water, not a pleasant picture if you think about it. Since you are in the spring cleaning mood why not spend a small amount of time cleaning your faucet aerators, It won't take long with the few cleaning steps below.

No need to get out the harmful cleaning solutions all you will need for this job is some vinegar and water.

First what you will want to do is unscrew the aerator, remove it and the black sealing gasket above it, rinse the gasket with warm water.

Mix up a 50/50 solution of vinegar and water and place the aerator  in the solution for a few hours. While that is soaking head on out to garage,  did you forget you were organizing that today too?  After it's soaked for a few hours you will want to flush it with some warm water, if you find there is still some mineral deposits on there scrub the aerator with an old toothbrush, this should release any stuck on deposits.

If you have some mineral deposits or water spots on the fixtures themselves and your mild cleaning solutions are not doing the trick, take a cloth soaked in white vinegar and place it on the deposits for a few hours  then clean the faucet again with the cleanser.

This solution also works great for your Delta showerheads.
