Default can running rich clog injectors?

So just like it says, can it clog injectors? I've ran rich here and there but never had my injectors cleaned. I'm wondering how much it takes to impede performance from clogged injectors.

Running rich wont clog injectors, but cloged injectors can and will effect performance.

Is there any way to tell that there clogged? Like, how do you go about checking? I know rceng.com cleans them but I was wondering if I could do it myself.

I've heard of people soaking them overnight in fuel injector cleaner. You know, that stuff that they inject into the intake manifold.

They test them under pressure, it would be very hard to do this yourself. You could try to clean them yourself, but you wont be able to test how well they function.......other than mashing the throttle
