clogged fogg-it nozzles

13 years ago

How do you clean/unclog fogg-it nozzles without wrecking them?

I have several dozen in many different sizes but mostly super fine.

Most of them have at least one or two of the of the three nozzles completely clogged.

Any suggestions other than using a pre-filter?

I've soaked them in white vinegar and water to clear debris clogs. if it's mineral deposits, you may need something stronger, like CLR.

soak them in clr, then scrub them with a toothbrush and rinse. If they're still not open, repeat. You can also use fine craft wire to open the holes.
