STEP 1: Once you’ve finished making your smoothie (or whatever), take your blender and fill it half-way with water; warm or hot water is preferred.
STEP 2: Throw in about three to five drops of dishwashing soap into your blender.
OPTIONAL: If you have half a lemon, squeeze the juice into the blender. You could even cut up a slice (or two) and throw it into the blender too. This will help to eliminate any odors and will also act as a germ killer.
STEP 3: Then put the blender back on the base and hit the high speed button or I use the “liquefy” feature. Let the blender spin for 15-20 seconds.
STEP 4: Now, you’ll have soapy water. Use that substance to also clean the lid of your blender. Rinse off the soapy water from the blender and its lid.
STEP 5: Place the blender upside down on a dish drying rack or on a towel to air dry. Sweet, now was that fast!
I sometimes spill a little bit of mix on the stand of the blender. It’s a good idea to take the nice soapy water you’ve produced and pour it onto a clean, dry cloth. Then use this cloth to wipe down your stand.
