Let\u2019s be honest, nobody likes cleaning the blender after using it. Whether you are blending a sauce or just stirring up a smoothie, cleaning it can be a nightmare. Here are some of the most useful tips on how to clean a blender. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Self-Cleaning Functions<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Self-cleaning features can be a lifesaver when it comes to cleaning the blender. Such features assist you to easily clean up the blender with a simple press of a button.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With the self-cleaning features, you do not need to risk reaching out to clean the sharp blades on the bottom of the container. Even if you are using oil, butter, or protein powders where it is in a sticky state, the self-cleaning mode can help with most of the cleaning task.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To use the self-cleaning feature:-<\/p>\n\n\n\n

  1. Remove the lid and fill half the pitcher with warm water. <\/li>
  2. Add a few drops of dishwashing soap and close the lid. <\/li>
  3. Secure it properly and switch on the blender. <\/li>
  4. Press the ‘Clean’ button to let the blender do its job. <\/li>
  5. Once the cleaning cycle is complete, the blender will stop. <\/li>
  6. Remove the lid and the pitcher and rinse it thoroughly. <\/li>
  7. Air-dry the pitcher before using it again. <\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    Some of the blenders from popular brands such as Ninja, Vitamix, and Blendtec come with blenders easy-clean features. While most Nutribullet models<\/a> don\u2019t have the auto-clean features, you may still use the pulse or variable speed to mimic the self-cleaning features.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Dishwasher Safe Cleaning<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    Not sure if you can put your blender in the dishwasher?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    The first step is to read the instruction manual to find out if your blender is dishwasher-safe. Usually, stainless steel is safe to go into the dishwasher. Glass blenders<\/a> can go in only if they have the dishwasher-safe mark. Plastic cups and lids usually cannot tolerate high temperatures of the dishwasher and should only be used if they are high-grade, BPA-free. Otherwise, they will melt and release toxic chemicals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    For example, the Ninja <\/strong>SmartScreen Blender or the Ninja <\/strong>Nutri Professional Personal Blender is dishwasher safe. Brands like Braun and Nutribullet specify that all the containers and lids of their models can go into the dishwasher. However, blenders from Kambrook are usually not dishwasher-safe. Even Vitamix blenders<\/a>, such as the Vitamix 5200 should not be put inside a dishwasher. Only the Vitamix S-Series is dishwasher-safe.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    However, it is only the jar that you can put into the dishwasher without the blades. Follow these steps:-<\/p>\n\n\n\n
