How to Clean a Faucet Aerator
A Simple Fix for a Faucet Aerator that's Spitting and Sputtering
Here's a problem you may have lived with for years and never realized how easy it would be to fix.

This video shows you exactly how, step by step.
Here's another video by plumber Greg Chick who goes into the subject in detail and recommends simply replacing the aerator rather than attempting to clean it.
If your aerator is stubborn and won't unscrew easily, wrap several layers of electrician's tape around the jaws of a pair of standard or multi-groove pliers to prevent damaging the finish. As you look down on the aerator, turn it clockwise to loosen.
