A mixer grinder is an essential appliance in most Malayali households, used daily for a variety of tasks. However, many people clean their mixer jars along with other utensils, which can lead to food particles getting stuck in the blades and washer. This not only causes an unpleasant odour but can also scratch the jars. To avoid this, here are some simple and effective ways to clean your mixer jars while keeping them scratch-free and in top condition.

Vinegar solution
For spotless mixer jars, try using vinegar. Mix two tablespoons of vinegar with water, pour the solution into the jar, and run the mixer for a few seconds. This will quickly remove stains and odour. Clean your jars with this method at least once or twice a month for best results.

Lemon rind
Lemon rinds work wonders in eliminating stains and odour. After rinsing the jar with plain water, scrub the inside with a lemon rind. Let it sit for a few minutes before washing it off with clean water.

Baking powder paste
Create a thick paste using baking powder and water. Apply this paste both inside and outside the jar, leave it for a few minutes, and then wash it off. Your mixer jars will look as good as new.

Important tips for using your mixer grinder right

  • Always place the mixer grinder on a flat surface.
  • Ensure the surface is dry before switching on the motor to avoid the risk of electric shock.
  • Let food items cool to room temperature before grinding or blending, as very hot or cold ingredients can damage the motor.
  • Start the mixer on a low speed and gradually increase it to avoid strain on the motor.
  • After washing, clean the blades, washer, and lid thoroughly, and wipe them dry with a clean cloth to prevent rust and odour.

By following these tips, your mixer grinder will stay clean, last longer, and continue to perform efficiently!
