Default ball-type faucet repair and silicone lubricant

Thanks. I ran out and purchased a new set of springs and valve sets. So I
will remove the other ones and clean out the inside of the faucet with a
rag, and do what you suggest with cleaning the aerator as well.

use food grade silicone spray next time for your add on lube but only
if specified.
for now why not just flush it out with aerator removed and 10 minutes
of hot and 10 minutes of cold. wash out aerator parts, reinstall.
