How to clean your Kitchen Spray Nozzle

Does your Kitchen spray nozzle look like ours did? I hate to say it but our kitchen nozzle was gooey and grimy when I went to clean it this week. I am not sure why all of a sudden there is a build up but I was not excited to use it. I like to use the spray nozzle to make my tea and looking at the nozzle head did not excite me or make me want tea.
So I decided to scrub it and see if I could get it sparkling clean.

I soaked the nozzle in a mixture of vinegar and water overnight on the counter. I took it out a couple of times and wiped it down and sprayed it. I really wanted to get all of the gunk out I possibly could. I also used toothpicks to scrape along the nozzle area.
