•  Improves hygiene: Removes leftover food particles, oil, and moisture that can cause bacteria or bad smells.
• Protects performance: Keeps blades sharp and motor running smoothly by preventing buildup and clogging.
• Extends lifespan: Regular care helps avoid rust, wear, and damage, making your appliance last longer.
• Ensures food safety: Prevents contamination, especially when preparing baby food, smoothies, or raw ingredients.
• Saves time and effort: A clean mixer grinder works faster and more efficiently, reducing prep time in the kitchen.

Here is a simple list of things you will need to clean your mixer grinder effectively:

• Soft sponge or cloth: For wiping jars and the motor base gently
• Old toothbrush or small brush: To clean blades, lids, and tight corners
•  Mild dish soap: Helps remove food stains and grease
•  White vinegar or baking soda: Useful for deep cleaning and removing odors
• Warm water: Makes it easier to loosen stuck food particles

Here is a simple step-by-step guide to clean your mixer grinder safely and effectively:

• Unplug the mixer grinder: Always switch off and unplug the appliance before cleaning to avoid any electrical risk.
• Disassemble the jars and blades: Remove the jars, lids, and blades carefully. Most blades can be unscrewed from the bottom for thorough cleaning.
• Wash jars and lids with warm soapy water: Use a soft sponge and mild dish soap to clean the inside and outside. Rinse well to remove any soap residue.
• Clean blades and tight corners with a brush: Use an old toothbrush or small brush to scrub around the blades and hard-to-reach areas.
• Wipe the motor base with a dry cloth: Never immerse the base in water. Just wipe it gently with a dry or slightly damp cloth to remove dust and spills.
• Use vinegar or baking soda for deep cleaning: For tough stains or lingering smells, soak jars in a mix of warm water and vinegar or baking soda for 15 minutes, then rinse.
• Dry all parts completely: Let the jars, lids, and blades air dry or wipe them with a clean towel before reassembling and storing.

Here are some easy and effective tips to help you maintain your mixer grinder and keep it running smoothly:

• Always unplug before cleaning: This keeps you safe and protects the appliance from electrical damage.
• Clean after every use: Rinse jars, lids, and blades with warm soapy water to prevent food buildup.
• Wipe the motor base regularly: Use a dry cloth to remove dust and spills; never wash it directly.
• Check blades and jars for wear: Replace dull blades or cracked jars to maintain performance.
• Avoid overloading: Fill jars only up to the recommended level to prevent strain on the motor.
• Let it cool between uses: Give the motor short breaks during long grinding sessions to avoid overheating.
• Store in a dry place: Keep all parts dry before storing to prevent rust and moisture damage.

Here are some common mistakes to avoid when cleaning your mixer grinder to keep it safe and working well:

• Using too much water near the motor base: Never immerse or splash water on the motor; it can cause electrical damage.
• Skipping regular cleaning: Leaving food residue can lead to bad smells, stains, and bacterial growth.
