Stick a pin in them first to see if they clear.

If you eventually need to remove the jets they are each held in from behind by two plastic barbs that need compressing with long-nose pliers.

Drain unblocker has worked for me before, pour into a tub so it’s submerged, leave for a while rinse out well then refit and use on car

I have been using Asda/Tesco`s own aditive to the washers on my 330 sport and twice in twelve months the filters have blocked up with the stuff.
Just a precaution maybe for the future.
I took the jets off my Baur and boiled them for 10 mins and this did the trick.lol.

Try a TeePee brush used for cleaning betwèen teeth! They're like mini bottle brushes pink or orange are thin enough.
