To make it easier to care for the faucet screen, half a lemon will help, the pulp of which is pressed into its spout and left there for 1-2 hours.

To prevent the lemon from flying off the spout of the tap, we secure it with a pair of rubber rings.

During the specified time, lemon juice, which has a pronounced acidic nature, completely dissolves limescale and other deposits with an alkaline base that have formed on the mesh during its use.

We remove half a lemon from the spout of the water tap, open it briefly to wash out the resulting ingredients with a stream of water, and finally wipe the tap with a sponge soaked in water. At the same time, lemon juice removes all deposits from the metal parts of the faucet if you use a paper towel. After these procedures, the faucet and mesh shine and sparkle like new.
