Blender & Juicer Care & Maintenance

How to Clean and Care for Your Blender and Juicer (So They Last for Years)

Fruit pulp and sticky residue are tough on machines — left to dry, they stain jars, dull blades, and breed bacteria. A few minutes of routine care keeps your machine hygienic and running strong.

The 30-second self-clean

For blenders, fill the jar halfway with warm water and a drop of dish soap, then run it for 20–30 seconds and rinse. Doing this right after use, before anything dries, clears most residue without any scrubbing.

Clean every part

• Jar & lid: wash with warm soapy water; check if they're dishwasher-safe.
• Blades: rinse carefully — they're sharp — and dry to prevent dulling and rust.
• Juicer mesh filter: brush out trapped pulp immediately; dried pulp is the hardest to remove.
• Motor base: wipe with a damp cloth only — never submerge it in water.

Tackle stains and smells

• Remove cloudy buildup with a baking soda paste or a vinegar-water rinse.
• Banish odors by blending water with a slice of lemon, then rinsing.
• Air-dry parts fully before reassembling to prevent musty smells.

Protect the motor

• Never run the machine empty or overload it past the max line.
• Give it short rests during heavy tasks like crushing ice.
• Keep the cord and base dry, and unplug before disassembling.
