How to clean a blender
Fill the jug halfway with warm water and a drop of washing-up liquid, blend for 30 seconds, then rinse.
Blades are sharp; don't put your hand inside. Use warm, not boiling, water.
Never mix cleaning products. Bleach plus ammonia, vinegar or other acids releases toxic gases. Use one product at a time, rinse between them, ventilate, and unplug appliances before you clean them.
