Develops on faucet aerators. You should regularly clean them.

What method to clean them would you recommend? Just some bleach and a scrubbing brush? Would you have to remove them beforehand?

Google has suggestions like bleach and a toothbrush. I like to unscrew them. You need a rubber jar opener at minimum and sometimes pliers. Use a tiny bit of silicone food safe plumbers grease on the threads so next time it's easy.
