Cleaning the cartridge: The next step is to clean the cartridge with soapy water and remove any obstructions, such as small debris, that prevent proper water flow.

Additional tips:
Preventive maintenance: Regular cleaning of the faucet, even if it does not have visible problems, can prevent future problems such as clogs or worn parts.
Always have basic tools on hand: Having an adjustable wrench, isopropyl alcohol, and silicone oil in your tool kit can save you time when problems arise with faucets. Don’t use excessive force: If a part doesn’t loosen easily, try using lubricant or a suitable tool instead of applying too much force, to avoid damaging the parts.
