Back in the day I used to work for a wonderful lady who was an acupuncturist and naturopathic doctor. Among the many things I learned from her was the art of using a Neti pot. What's that, you ask? It is a magical, non-mechanical, stylish, handy dandy nose cleaner outer! 
I have not been as faithful a user as I once was, but I still hold it in high esteem. The neti pot can help with symptoms from headaches to sinus infections and allergies. We have recently begun using a form of the Neti pot, the Neil-med on our youngest daughter who has had problems with her sinuses almost since birth.
Of course she is not too thrilled about having warm saline water shot up her nose at 6 o'clock in the morning, but it has already improved the clarity of her speech and her snot factor has decreased in volume and is not green any more!
With cold and flu season upon us, I recommend everyone get on the neti bandwagon and have a go at shooting water up their nose! Today!

c's snot twin cousin might need to partake in that action. where might one purchase such loveliness?
you might try Walgreens or another pharmacy for the Neil Med. It usually comes in a box as a kit. The little spray bottles of saline that are marketed for pediatrics don't seem to do the trick as far as getting the snot all the way out, so I would try an actual neti pot-type item. the one we have is a lot faster than the typical neti pot, though, because they don't have to tip their head and wait for the ick to drain out! yum!! let me know what you find!
