To clean a blender effectively, follow these steps:
- After using the blender, immediately empty the contents to prevent residue from drying inside.
- Fill the blender halfway with warm or hot water and add a few drops of dish soap.
- Secure the lid and run the blender on high for about 30 seconds to 1-2 minutes.
- Pour out the soapy water and rinse both the carafe and lid thoroughly with warm water.
- If sticky residue or stains remain, you can lightly scrub with a sponge (avoid metal scrubbers to prevent scratching).
- For tougher stains or cloudiness, apply a paste of baking soda and water or a mixture of vinegar and water, let it sit for about 30 minutes, then scrub and rinse.
- Wipe the blender base with a damp cloth to clean any spills or splatters.
Doing this quick cleaning after each use helps avoid tough buildup and reduces the need for deep cleaning.
