How to clean a blender easily?

Getting Started with Cleaning Your Blender

• Remove detachable parts: Take out the lid, pitcher, and blade assembly if possible. This makes it easier to clean each piece separately.
• Rinse off food remnants: Quickly run warm water through the blender to get rid of large bits of food. This prevents dried-on residue.
• Add water and a little dish soap: Fill the blender about half full with warm water and add a small drop of dish soap. Dish soap is a cleaning agent that helps break down grease and leftover food particles.
• Blend the solution: Put the lid back on and turn the blender on for 30 to 60 seconds. This action creates a swirling motion that cleans all the inner surfaces very effectively.
• Pour out and rinse again: Empty the soapy water and rinse every part thoroughly with warm water to remove any soap residue without using strong claims regarding bacteria or allergens.
• Hand wash remaining parts: Use a soft sponge or cloth to clean the lid, pitcher, and any other parts. Avoid letting water seep into the motor base to keep it safe.
• Dry completely: Allow all the parts to air dry on a clean towel before reassembling. This prevents any moisture buildup that could cause issues.

Additional Detailed Tips

• Unplug & Safety: Always unplug the blender before disassembling any part to avoid electric shocks.
• Use a soft brush for tough spots: For any stubborn food residue around the blade or corners, gently use a soft-bristled brush to dislodge particles.
• Clean soon after use: It’s easier to clean the blender right after using it when food particles haven’t had time to dry and stick.
• Keep the base dry: Never immerse the motor base in water. Instead, use a damp cloth to wipe it clean, then dry immediately.
• Repeat if needed: If residue remains, you can repeat the water and soap blend process or let the soapy water sit a few minutes before blending again for a deeper clean.
