1. Gather Your Tools:
You will need the following tools for this task:

Locate the shut-off valves under the sink and turn them clockwise to close them. This will prevent water from flowing out of the faucet when you remove the screen.

Use the adjustable wrench or pliers to gently loosen the aerator. Turn it counterclockwise until it comes loose. Be careful not to overtighten or damage the aerator.

Once the aerator is loose, use your fingers to remove it completely. If the aerator is stuck, gently wiggle it back and forth to loosen it.

Use a rag or paper towel to wipe away any visible debris from the aerator. You can also soak the aerator in a vinegar or CLR solution to dissolve mineral deposits. Rinse the aerator thoroughly with clean water before reinstalling.

Inside the aerator, you will find a small screen. Use a pair of tweezers or a small screwdriver to gently pry the screen out of its housing.

7. Clean the Screen:
Use a rag or paper towel to wipe away any debris or buildup on the screen. You can also use a soft brush to remove any stubborn particles.

Replace the screen into the aerator and insert the aerator back into the faucet. Tighten the aerator clockwise using the adjustable wrench or pliers.

9. Turn on the Water Supply:
Open the shut-off valves under the sink to restore the water supply to the faucet. Check that there are no leaks and that the water pressure has improved after cleaning the screen.
