Default Clogged Windshield Washer tubes

Can anyone tell me what the procedure is to fix clogged windshield wiper tubes? How long would it realistically take them to do it at the dealership?
Thanks!

You could replace the tubes if they are really clogged. Is it the tubes or the nozzles which spray the fluid? Nozzles can be cleaned with a sharp pin like those you get when you buy a shirt, or a safety pin might be easier to grip.

Would also depend on the extent of clogging. Have seen some washer bottles with slimy goo floating around that just continually get sucked into the pipes and nozzles and some washer bottles are really buried to remove and clean out.
