Step-by-Step Guide

Rinse Immediately

Rinse blender jar right after use. This prevents food from drying and sticking.

Add Water and Soap

Fill halfway with warm water. Add 2-3 drops of dish soap.

Blend on High

Secure lid and blend on high for 30-60 seconds. The vortex cleans everywhere.

Rinse Thoroughly

Pour out soapy water and rinse with clean water. Repeat blend if needed.

Dry Upside Down

Place jar upside down on drying rack. This prevents water spots inside.

Pro Tips
