Keeping your mixer grinder clean is essential for maintaining hygiene in the kitchen and ensuring your appliances last for years. Over time, mixie jars can accumulate stubborn stains, old food smells, and sticky residue from daily use. Fortunately, you don’t need harsh chemicals or expensive cleaning products to get them sparkling again. Simple household items like liquid dish soap, white vinegar, and baking soda are all you need to tackle even the toughest messes. With these easy methods, you can keep your mixer grinder fresh and ready for use every day. Watch Video
For daily care, the 30-second self-cleaning method is the quickest and easiest way to keep your mixie jar clean. Fill the dirty jar halfway with warm water and add two to three drops of regular liquid dish soap. Secure the lid and run the mixer on high speed for 30 seconds. The soapy water will swirl around the jar, dislodging food particles and grease from the blades and walls. Once done, pour out the soapy water and rinse the jar thoroughly under running water. This method is perfect for busy mornings or when you need a quick cleanup after blending.
If your mixie jar has developed stubborn odours from grinding masala, garlic, or onions, the vinegar deodoriser is the solution. Mix equal parts water and white vinegar inside the jar and pulse or run the mixer for 10 to 15 seconds. If the jar smells strongly, let the vinegar solution sit inside for 15 minutes to neutralize the odours completely. After soaking, wash it out with plain water. For yellow turmeric stains and sticky residue that cling to the jar walls, a baking soda paste works wonders. Mix one tablespoon of baking soda with a few drops of water to create a thick paste, then rub it over the stained areas. Let it rest for 10 minutes to break down the buildup, then wipe away the paste with a damp microfiber cloth or sponge and rinse thoroughly.
Cleaning the motor base unit requires extra care and safety precautions. Always unplug the mixie from the wall outlet before cleaning the base. Dip a microfiber cloth in soapy water, wring it out completely until it is barely damp, and wipe down the base body. Use the same damp cloth to wipe grease off the power cord. Immediately use a dry towel to wipe the base dry. Never submerge the base unit in water, as this can cause electrical damage and pose a safety hazard. By following these simple cleaning routines, you can keep your mixer grinder hygienic, odour-free, and functioning efficiently for years to come.
