Default Replacig faucet cartridge

My kitchen sink faucets are not marked with any brand name. They are
dripping. Is there anyway I can purchase the right cartridges without
knowing the faucet brand? I'm unfaniliar enough with plumbing that I am
afraid to try to remove a cartridge and get some identification off of it.
I'm afraid I won't be able to return the old corroded cartridge to service
while I am hunting for a replacement.

TIA

Maybe we could help if you posted a picture. Two faucets might mean
washers that need to be replaced and not cartridges.

Sometimes it is best to hire a plumber. I have said that for most jobs
that the difference between me and the plumber is that the plumber has a
truck full of parts with him.

The modern ones I've had experience with, the cartridges were not corroded.
I would take a look at some videos online of similar faucets, then just
take it apart on a day when you have time to go to HD or plumbing supply
and it's highly likely you'll find the replacement.

If it was me I would take a good photo of the faucets and
see if anyone who supplys new cartridges recognises it.

That idea has Duh written all over it ...
They aren't going to sell you a pair of cartridges that have
a good chance of being returned by a now-angry customer.
