recommend unclogging wiper sprayer - larsalan - 06-27-2011

I just swapped out some dead shock absorbers on my front end. Going to hang out with a friend tomorrow and do the rear. While we work on that what could I do to unclog my wiper sprayers?
New ones will probably end up costing like $20-30 to get shipped and all.
I checked the pump with the sprayers unhooked and it works fine.
Any household chemical that might open them up?
vinegar? Oil? no gas, right?

Do you have access to compressed air? Worth a try.

That would be good but I don't. Maybe I could take them to a shop and have them blow them out. I have some pb blaster maybe that will help.

I use a small piece of stainless lock wire to break the crud loose then I blow through it with air.

I wonder if something like CLR would work.

Like from a bicycle's brake cable. Just frayed steel. Good idea, I have used that or a needle on lawn mower carbs.
CLR sounds like just the thing but I don't have any.
