4 Simple Steps to Clean Your Blender in Just 30 Seconds

To keep your blender in good and durable condition over time, you need to pay attention to the following points:

Soak/wash the machine immediately after use

Due to busy schedules and lack of time, many women often do not wash the blender immediately after use but wash it with dishes. This habit not only creates an environment for bacteria to thrive but also makes cleaning the machine more difficult. Especially, sometimes women forget to clean the machine, causing dirt to stick to the blade and create an unpleasant smell.

Therefore, if you don’t have time to wash the blender right away, you should remember to pour water into it to ensure hygiene when using.

Unplug the machine immediately after use for cleaning and wiping

To ensure safety during cleaning, you should unplug the blender immediately after use. Avoid accidentally touching the blender’s power button, which can damage the blade or cause dangerous operation. At the same time, unplugging the machine also ensures safety when water comes into contact with the blender’s motor.

Wear protective gloves when cleaning the blender

Good blenders often have firm and sharp blade parts, so when cleaning, you should remember to wear protective gloves to protect your hands from injury.

Do not rinse with hot water and then put it in the refrigerator

Although it may seem unreasonable, many families have a habit of doing this after cleaning the blender. Because the blender’s container is usually made of plastic, it is very easy to crack when exposed to sudden temperature differences. The advice for women is to leave the parts and components in a cool, dry place and place them upside down to drain the water.

4 simple steps to clean a versatile blender quickly

Step 1: After use, rinse the blender container with water several times to remove any large debris stuck in the machine.

Step 2: Add water to the blender container, about half to two-thirds full, along with 1-2 drops of dish soap. If you have lemons in your refrigerator, remember to add about half a lemon. The natural ingredients in lemon juice and lemon peel will help eliminate odors and clean the blender effectively while being safe for your health.

Step 3: Place the blender container in the machine. Some modern blenders have a function that operates only when the machine parts are correctly aligned. Plug in the power cord, close the lid tightly on the container to ensure that the water inside does not spill out. Press the button to operate the machine for about 30 seconds to 1 minute to clean the dirt.

Step 4: Open the lid, check if there are any dirt and food residue stuck to the blender container. Pour soapy water and rinse 1-2 times with clean water. Wipe dry with a soft cloth and place it on a dish rack or in a clean, dry place to use for the next time.

Here’s an additional tip for you: if your family hasn’t used the blender for a long time or you have forgotten to clean it for a long time, causing a lot of dirt and food debris to stick to the container, you can use a mixture of ½ teaspoon of baking soda, 1 tablespoon of vinegar, and ½ teaspoon of dish soap, and fill the container with water. Let this mixture sit overnight. Then rinse with warm water and rinse again with clean water to ensure that your versatile blender is clean and fresh like new.
