When it comes to dirty dishes, there are a few types of \u201cfood cement\u201d I get a little crazy about. One of them is blender cement. This always happens whenever I make a smoothie and don\u2019t clean the blender immediately.\n<\/p>\n
Some foods, especially smoothies, can leave a tough-to-clean cemented mess on the bottom, sides, and lids of a blender. Even the best blender isn\u2019t immune to the remnants of my daily combination of oat milk, bananas, peanut butter, spinach, blueberries, and ground flax seed turning into cement within minutes of pouring the smoothie into a glass.\u00a0\n<\/p>\n
Of course, you could put the blender in the dishwasher if you have one, but you would need to run a wash cycle before using it again. And washing the blender by hand can be a dangerous endeavor.\u00a0\n<\/p>\n
But what if I told you there was a super simple way to clean the blender, including the blades, without putting it in the dishwasher or washing it by hand? There’s a method that makes so much sense, that I felt a little silly that I didn\u2019t think of it on my own. If you use your blender a lot, this is going to be your new favorite cleaning hack.\n<\/p>\n

With this hack, it’s clean in truly seconds and I can avoid the “soak and run” move with my dirty dishes.\u201d\n<\/p>\n When you\u2019re done whipping a smoothie, blender Hollandaise sauce, blender pancakes, pur\u00e9ed soup, or even whipped cream, follow these steps to clean your blender:\n<\/p>\n The blender will be clean and ready to use again immediately. It works with both glass and plastic blenders, and it only takes about a minute.\u00a0\n<\/p>\n Instagram user Melissa Pateras<\/a> demonstrates just how easy this method is.\u00a0\n<\/p>\n The Best Way To Clean a Glass or Plastic Blender <\/span> <\/h2>\n
