The spout of a Moen Extensa pullout faucet is attached to a hose that retracts into the faucet body and is stored beneath the sink. The Moen Extensa is convenient for washing items that will not fit under the spout. The spout is pulled out and can be positioned anywhere the hose will reach. Over time, the inside of the faucet body where the hose retracts becomes dirty and gathers debris. The inside of the Moen Extensa pullout faucet is cleaned by removing the hose.
Instructions
1. Fill the sink halfway with warm water and add two or three squirts of dish soap.
2. Position yourself under the sink so you have access to the underneath of the faucet.
3. Trace the hose that attaches to the handle of the Moen Extensa pullout. Locate where the end of the hose attaches to the underneath of the faucet.
4. Disconnect the end of the hose using a small adjustable wrench. Pull the hose up and out of the faucet body on the sink top. Place the hose and the handle in the soapy water.
5. Place a small bucket under the sink beneath the faucet. This will catch the soapy water that will leak as you clean.
6. Dip a bottle brush in the soapy water and insert it into the faucet body. Scrub the inside of the faucet body while frequently dipping the bottle brush into the soapy water. Rinse the bottle brush and insert it again to rinse the inside of the faucet body.
7. Scrub the hose and handle with a scouring pad and rinse them with warm water. Dry the underneath of the sink using paper towels. Reinstall the hose by reversing the procedure you used to remove it.
