How to Keep Your Blender in Tip-Top Condition!

A clean blender that is well taken care of lasts longer and works better. Here are some cleaning tips that you can use to ensure that you get the most life out of your kitchen blender.

Clean Right Away

The best cleaning tip we can give you with your blender is to clean it shortly after using it. You don’t have to go for the full cleaning right away, but you should at least rinse it down. This will make it much easier to clean and prevent some food particles from sticking to the blender. This also helps to get rid of some accumulation that you might not notice when you thoroughly clean the blender.

You should make sure the blender is completely washed and dried before you leave the kitchen, though. You don’t want to leave this task until the next day. That’s because food particles and liquid can have a damaging effect on just about anything. They can wear surfaces down over time, especially if you are dealing with acidic juices like those from oranges or other citrus. Cleaning the blender soon after using it protects it and ensures it lasts much longer.

Be Careful with Blade Jams

If you hear your blender blades being stuck when you use the appliance, then you should stop the blender immediately. Anytime the blender starts to slow down or has trouble spinning, that means that there is likely something stuck in the blades keeping them from turning properly. You can clear that obstruction out before you use the blender again, and doing that protects your blades and the entire blender. If the blades become damaged, then your blender won’t be much use, so take extra care when dealing with obstructions. Also ensure that your blender is turned off and unplugged before you try to clean the blades.

Spraying Blenders are a Sign of Problems

If your blender tends to spray food around your kitchen every so often when you use it, then you need to realize that something isn’t quite right. It could be as simple as the lid not being placed properly on the top of the blender, but it could be a problem with how level your blender is, how much you fill it or even a structural issue. Your blender may be needing repairs.

If this has happened to you and you end up with a kitchen that is covered in smoothie, then it may be time to call in the professional cleaning service. That stuff needs to be cleaned off the wall promptly and in such a way that it doesn’t damage the walls. This kind of issue is often a sign that your blender needs some work or needs to be used differently.

A clean blender is one that works better, lasts longer and is more sanitary to use. We have just given you a few tips that we hope you can use to get the most out of this kitchen appliance.
