Someone on an inkjet transfer list mentioned using Windex to clean
clogged heads. Among other things, I am pretty sure Windex has ammonia
in it.

And someone else gave this link, using a syringe to force a cleaning
solution through the heads. Only works on something you can get
aquarium tubing around, which includes Epsons.

Might have to make an adapter to fit on Canons.

I like the part where you heat it in the microwave. Hot cleaning
solution should clean much better than cold.

Maybe this with ammonia could clean out Stefan's clogged floor polish
experiment.
