Kitchen Sink
My kitchen sink faucet is hard to move left to right. How can I clean or lubricate the faucet?
I would like to clean or lubricate my kitchen sink faucet so that it can move left to right more easily. Do I have to take it apart to do this? What cleaning products or lubricants should be used?
I rent the apartment so I can’t get a new faucet. I would only like to clean or lubricate the faucet.
Corky is on the right track. It’s a single handled unit where the faucet part comes out with a hose attached, and you can switch between many small streams of water or one big stream. I forget the manufacturer but it is probably delta or moen.
Mr. sensible is correct. If this is a Delta or Peerless single arm unit, then there will be hex set screw on the underside of the handle. You’ll have to turn off the water to the faucet to take it off as removing the piece below it will certainly give you more water than you want. Once you’ve loosened the set screw you should be able to twist, carefully, the handle till it starts coming up and off the shaft it’s on. Then take the center hub, (cap), off by unscrewing it, probably with a pair of channel lock pliers or a strap wrench. If you use the channel locks, put a small towel or cloth around the top before applying any force, to minimize the scratching. Once you have this cap removed the center spigot should come off the post with a twisting motion. There will be two “O” rings on the post, one near the top and one near the bottom. Wipe the whole thing off with a paper towel, inside the spigot and outside of the post. Then apply white vaseline to both surfaces in a generous manner and reinstall the pieces. It should work much better.
If it’s a two handled unit with a spigot in the center, then there should be a solid cap on the top of the center post that should unscrew to release the spigot the same as the first discription. Clean, lubricate and reinstall the same. Turn the water back on. Don’t use WD40 on the fixture.
