Restore free flow to a faucet

"When our kitchen or bathroom faucet loses pressure because of a dirty aerator screen, I hear about it from my better half. Luckily, cleaning a screen is an easy job. Start by closing the drain plug (so you don't drop parts down the drain). Then remove the aerator using a rag or masking tape so you don't mar the finish with your pliers.
To remove the sand and other deposits, soak the aerator in vinegar, then scrub it with a toothbrush. This usually solves the problem and puts a smile on my wife's face. If you have to disassemble the aerator to clean it, lay out the parts in the order you removed them so you can reassemble them correctly."
