You'll want to begin by removing the aerator from your spout by turning it counter clock-wise (see image). Once the aerator is removed, submerge it in a solution of warm water and white vinegar. You'll only need to use enough to cover the entire area. Use a 50/50 ratio of water to vinegar. After allowing the aerator to be submerged for approximately 60 minutes, you can use a soft cloth to remove any excess water build up stains on the aerator house or spout tip.

How do I clean my faucet and remove hard water spots?
Problem: I have water spots on on my faucet
Solution 1: Try water & vinegar
You'll want to begin by making a solution of warm water and white vinegar. You can use a 50/50 ratio of each. Once your solution is complete use a soft cloth with the solution to wipe down the areas that need to be cleaned or have water spots.
Solution 2: Soap & water
If you're faucet still isn't looking like it should, you can use mild soap or mild cleaners to help clean your faucet. Use of any acids or solvents on your faucet would void any warranty you may have.
