Blending Machine
Some people find it hard to clean their blenders. Sometimes, they wash it as if they are washing a normal pitcher. Proper washing of your blending machine is necessary for it to function properly and for it to last longer. Here are ways of washing your blender properly without having to take it apart:
1.Make sure that the blender is in a firm and safe place, just like when you are to blend something.
2.Pour water into the blender, preferably warm, until it is half full.
3.Put in a few drops of dishwashing liquid. You can also add half a lemon to better remove the particles and the odor.
4.Plug in the blender.
5.Put the lid back before switching it on.
6.Put it to low power and let it blend for about 30 seconds. Make sure all particles have been removed.
7.Turn the blender off and unplug it before pouring all of the liquid on the sink.
8.Rinse the blender thoroughly.
9.Let it dry by placing it upside down. Do not forget to wipe the base with a cloth.
Another way of cleaning your blender is by taking it apart. This is more thorough than the first but requires more effort and time. Just make sure that before you take your blender apart, you know how to put it back. You can make a note of what goes where or, better yet, have the blender manual ready.
1.Take the blender apart by first removing it from the base. Take the lid off and carefully unscrew the blade. Remove other removable components where particles can get stuck.
2.Wash the blade, gasket seal, locking ring, and other accessories your blender might have. Use warm water mixed with dishwashing soap.
3.Rinse the components and let dry.
4.Clean the base by wiping it with a damp cloth. Do not put the motor in water or in the dishwasher. Wiping it clean will be enough. Also, you might want to check for any damage it might have.
5.Put your blender back together. If you have taken notes or have your manual with you, reassembling it will be easy.
Properly washing your blending machine is not enough to ensure that it will last for a long time. Remember to also use it properly by making sure that the appliance is dry before storage to avoid the blade getting dull and rusty. Also, it is good to wipe the base and wash the container after every use. This will prevent particles from hardening, which will be difficult to remove. Remember that proper use and washing will save you a lot of money on repairs or replacement.
