Another reason for deep cleaning is when simple cleaning isn’t useful in cases of hard, sticky residue or a very dirty blender. Deep cleaning will help a lot to restore the clean and shiny condition of the blender as a whole.

Follow the instructions below to start deep cleaning.

Step 1: Separate the Detachable Parts of the Blender

Make sure that the blender is unplugged then detach the jar, jar lid, jar base, sharp blades, gasket seal, and blender base from each other.

Step 2: Clean the Blender Base

Never wash the base in water as it contains the electric components of the appliance. Instead, you can wipe it using a towel wet with warm water or soapy water.

You can consider using cotton buds to clean the area of the control buttons.

The electrical cable of the blender also can be wiped and it should be checked for damage.

Step 3: Clean the Blender Jar

You can just clean the jar using warm soapy water and a dish sponge. You can also do the same steps of simple cleaning before, shown earlier, detaching the components of the blender. Preferably, you can add baking soda to cleaning items to assure ideal cleanness.

If the jar assembly is very dirty, a mixture of baking soda, liquid dish soap, and white vinegar can be soaked into it for some hours before applying any of the previous 2 tips.

Step 4: Clean the Remaining Pieces of the Blender

Soak the blades, jar base, and gasket seal in warm soapy water. You can use a brush or a sponge to scrub them, but take care to avoid being injured by sharp blades.

Then, rinse them with water and let them dry.

You can add a tablespoon of vegetable oil to the gasket seal after drying to keep its flexibility.

Final Words on Cleaning a Blender Machine

It will be easy to clean your blender machine if you clean it immediately after using and without letting its content residue dry inside it or on its surface.

It is also important to read the instruction book of your blender machine before using and cleaning it. This is to identify which parts of the mixer grinder are removable. Because you may find blender models that have the cutting blades attached permanently to the jar.

In addition, your instruction book will let you know if your appliance has the preset of self-cleaning so that you can easily use this for cleaning.

You will also know whether some of its parts can be cleaned by the dishwasher or not. Because high temperature can affect the appearance of the jar making it cloudy or scratched and the sharpness of the blades makes them blunt.
