When I turn my sink cold water tap off it has a kind of spongy feel to it so much so that unless turned off very tightly it kind of eases back slightly and drips water.

I did take it off and clean it with a rag, admittedly not very well and it did have a lot of green gunge on it which was sticky. The washer looks ok. It is just a normal type tap not ceramic or mixer or anything fancy.

Anything I can do to make it a more `positive turn off`

thanks

OK I will have a look at that tomorrow although I dont think it needs regrinding as it does turn off but then (the tap) slowly creeps back a few degrees of its own accord and starts to drip.

Thanks I will let you know how I get on.
