To unclog a sprayer nozzle, start by removing the nozzle and soaking it in hot water for about 10 minutes to loosen any debris. After soaking, use a small brush or needle to gently remove residues from the nozzle openings. Rinse thoroughly with water to clear out any remaining particles. If the sprayer is still clogged, mix a solution of equal parts water and vinegar, soak the nozzle in it for a few hours, then rinse. This can help dissolve mineral deposits causing the blockage.
