    Heppened to me. I couldn't get it cleaned out, so I went to the hardware store to get a price on a new hose/wand setup. After finding out the cheaper way would set me back about $60, I decided to have a look around to try to find something that would fit into the nozzle enough to clean it out. I picked this up, and it worked perfect:

    Hobart Oxy/Acetylene long tip cleaner. Varied diameters. The best part? It was 4 bucks. :D

    Just a handy bit of info for anyone else this may happen to. :thumb:

    Thanks for the post, pektel. Any reasons/causes that would result in a clogged PW nozzle?

    My particular situation was probably due to mineral buildup from hard water.

    Great idea Pektel! Do you happen to have a foam cannon? If so, how does the hard water effect your foam? I'm having issues on my end and am trying to narrow it down.

    I wish I did. My order of tools to buy is in this order:

    1. PTG
    2. Steamer
    3. Foam Cannon
    4. Extractor (I have an LGM in the meantime)
