"  Q: How do you stop a sink faucet from dripping? A: Regardless of the faucet, begin the repair by turning off the shutoff valve on the supply line to the sink. This is located under the sink or in the basement. Next, close the sink drain to avoid losing small parts, then disassemble the faucet. Take note of the order of the parts to aid in reassembly. To ensure an exact match, bring the removed components to the hardware store or home center. PM&amp;#039;s contributing editor Merle Henkenius, a licensed master plumber with more than 30 years of experience, also advises the following: When repairing a pair of compression faucets, repair one faucet at a time to avoid mixing the parts and causing the faucet handles to open and shut opposite of their correct counterclockwise and clockwise operation.  Clean mineral-encrusted parts (that will not be replaced with new parts) with warm vinegar before reinstalling them. If this isn&amp;#039;t powerful enough to clean the parts, use CLR (jelmar.com), which is about as potent a product as you can use easily and safely. If friction makes the O-rings tough to install, use a drop or two of liquid dish detergent to lubricate the parts. Hot water wears out washers more quickly than cold water, so the washer on a hot faucet usually wears out before the washer on a cold faucet. Protect the washer with heatproof plumber&amp;#039;s grease (kingssupply.com). "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
