Default clearing windshield washer nozzles

Does anyone have any other suggestions other than needles and compressed air for cleaning a clogged windshield washer nozzle? I tried both (although the "compressed air" was from my lungs), and can't seem to clear the nozzle -- guess whatever is stuck in there is wedged in really well. I was thinking of trying to dissolve it chemically, but the nozzle is made of plastic and painted, so not sure if that would just do more harm than good.

Compressed air from an air compressor or even a can of air used for cleaning computers might work. Or you can just buy new washer nozzles http://www.hardtopguy.com/store/product.ph...0&cat=54&page=1

Pull them off and let them soak in Simple Green or CLR.
