Clean mineral deposits and debris from sink aerators with the Indigo™ 22574 stainless steel precision pick. Restore full water flow without replacing aerator screens and housings.

Reduced water flow from faucets typically results from mineral deposits and debris clogging aerator screens. While replacement is an option, cleaning existing aerators is more economical and environmentally responsible. The Indigo™ 22574 precision pick excels at this common household maintenance task. The straight pointed tip breaks up calcium and lime scale deposits trapped in screen mesh, while the right-angle tip cleans the aerator housing threads and internal passages. Homeowners and maintenance professionals can quickly restore full flow without damaging delicate screen materials or chrome finishes. The stainless steel construction resists corrosion from descaling solutions like vinegar or CLR, making this tool a permanent addition to any maintenance toolkit.

Indigo™ dental tools are made with AISI 410 German surgical grade stainless steel, not "alloy steel" made from rusted cars. We've been selling dental tools on-line since 1998. Ours stay sharp longer & are autoclavable: see Documentation below that confirms chromium & manganese content.

How to Use

Remove the aerator from the faucet using a strap wrench or by hand. Disassemble the aerator components, noting their order for reassembly. Soak screens and components in white vinegar or descaling solution for 30 minutes. Use the straight tip to gently work through screen openings, dislodging loosened deposits. Use the right-angle tip to clean threads and internal housing surfaces. Avoid excessive force on screens, they're thin and can be punctured. Rinse all components thoroughly under running water. Reassemble in correct order and test for leaks and proper flow pattern.
