Your Cambridge blender is a star in your kitchen, helping you make yummy smoothies, grind spices, and maybe even whip up sauces! To keep it working its best and looking great, a little cleaning after each use goes a long way. Here are some simple ways to keep it sparkling!
The Quick Rinse Right After Use
This is the easiest and most important step! As soon as you're done using your blender, don't let it sit with leftover food. Just rinse the jug and lid with warm water. This helps to stop sticky stuff from drying and getting harder to remove later.
The Magic of Soap and Water Blend
For a slightly deeper clean, try this super easy trick:
Pour some warm water into the blender jug (about halfway).
Add a drop or two of dish soap.
Put the lid on tightly.
Blend it on a medium speed for about 20-30 seconds.
Pour out the soapy water and rinse the jug and lid really well with clean water. This often gets rid of most of the residue without any scrubbing!
Getting Into Those Tricky Spots
Sometimes, little bits of food can get stuck under the blades or in the nooks and crannies of the lid. For these spots, a soft brush or a sponge can be really helpful. Just be super careful around the blades! You can also detach the blender jug from the base to clean it more easily. Remember, never put the blender base (the part with the motor) in water! You can just wipe it down with a damp cloth if it gets a little messy.
Deep Cleaning When Needed
Every now and then, you might want to give your blender a more thorough clean. You can usually take apart the blender jug (check your blender's instructions to see how). Wash each part separately with warm soapy water, rinse them well, and let them air dry completely before putting them back together. This helps to get rid of any build-up and keeps your blender fresh.
Keeping Your Grinder Attachment Clean
If you have a Cambridge blender with a grinder attachment (like the ones you can see on the Cambridge Blender & Grinder Collection), it's important to clean that too! For dry grinding, you can often just wipe it out with a dry cloth. If you've ground something oily, you might need to wash it gently with warm soapy water, making sure it's completely dry before using it again.
Shine On!
With these easy cleaning hacks, your trusty Cambridge blender will stay sparkling clean and ready for all your delicious creations! Taking a few extra moments to clean it after each use will really help it last longer and work better.
