Simple Trick To Clean Your Blender With Ease

One of the worst parts of using a blender so often is having to clean it.While smoothies and the many other foods you can make with a blender are delicious,

The oddly shaped, bulky carafe can be hard to clean, the blades are sharp and hard to reach and the lid has a dozen different nooks and crannies that make cleaning it a slog.

But there's an easy way to clean your blender without scrubbing or taking it apart. Here's how it works.

An easier way to clean your blender 

For a start, the best thing you can do after using your blender is clean it immediately. Letting food or other liquids sit and dry will only make cleaning it more difficult.

As soon as you're done blending, move the contents into another carafe, cup or serving dish. Then, to clean the blender: 

1. Fill the blender halfway with hot water from the tap or a kettle. 

2. Add a few drops of dish soap to the carafe.  

3. Optionally, add half a lemon.

4. Pop on the lid and run the blender on high for one to two minutes.  

5. Pour the contents into the sink.

6.Rinse the carafe and lid in the sink with warm water. 

7.Fill the carafe once more with hot or warm water. 

8.Place the carafe back on the blender base and run it for another minute. 

9.Rinse the lid and carafe once more and set aside to dry.

 If you do this each time you use your blender, you shouldn't need to deep-clean and scrub it each time you use it.

Of course, some foods you blend will be more difficult to clean, such as thick contents or food that has dried inside the carafe. These will ultimately need to be scrubbed, and it's not a bad idea to hand-wash the blender every few uses or so. 

But thanks to this quick cleaning tip, you can use your blender more often without dreading the cleanup. Don’t forget to share this tips if you enjoyed it.
