Step 1
Fill the blender jar about ¾ full with hot water, and squirt in a small amount of dish soap. A sufficient amount would be about ½ a teaspoon. You might add a tablespoon of baking soda to the water also; it removes odor and stains, not to mention helping to loosen those tough food particles.
-
Step 2
Run the blender at high speed for about 20 seconds. Running the blender on high speed works best to get the blender clean, and does it fast.
-
Step 3
For really sticky or dried on messes, repeat the second step a few times until the mess is dissolved.
-
Step 4
Rinse well with hot water and towel dry carefully, or turn the jar upside down on a towel or dish strainer to air dry.
-
Step 5
If your blade assembly is removable, take it out and rinse it under hot water, then wipe it carefully with a dishtowel. Make sure that is completely dry, but be careful not to cut yourself while drying the blades.
-
Step 6
Clean the stainless steel bender base or trim with glass cleaner, or a solution of half vinegar and half water in a spray bottle. Simply spray it on and wipe it off with a soft cloth.
-
Step 7
For cleaning a plastic blender base, you could use a damp soapy rag, or an all-purpose kitchen spray cleaner, or a solution of baking soda and water.
-
Step 8
It is a good idea to use a damp rag to wipe the electric cord also, just be sure to remember to unplug the base first, and also be sure not to get the electric plug wet.
