    • Dish soap. Proceeding with a sponge and detergent, as you would with a normal tableware, may not be the most effective solution: inserting your fingers and the sponge in the small space between the blade and the protective part (plastic or metal), we would risk causing cuts. fingers and in any case not being able to clean the instrument properly. Instead, we can half fill the jug of the hand blender (already thoroughly cleaned) with very hot water in which we have poured a few drops of dishwashing liquid and blend the solution obtained with controlled movements from top to bottom: the blade, moving, it will create foam and clean the blender.
    • Brush. We can also use an old toothbrush to clean the appliance, if there are traces of encrusted dirt: after leaving the blender in hot water for about ten minutes, in order to soften the encrustations, we brush vigorously with the toothbrush , on which we will have put a drop of dish soap.
    • Baking soda. Bicarbonate has a strong degreasing and anti-odor action, very useful in the kitchen. To use it, pour boiling water into the blender jug ​​in which we will dissolve one or two tablespoons of pure bicarbonate, then leave the tool to be cleaned in the solution for an hour: the bicarbonate will "dissolve" the dirt and eliminate food odors possibly present.

    We do not recommend using a solution of water and vinegar instead: in fact, vinegar, diluted with water, transforms into acetic acid, a particularly polluting and harmful substance for marine ecosystems, which would end up straight in the drain of our sink. The vinegar can only be used in purity in the event that the plastic parts of our hand blender should turn yellow or in any case be affected by the color of what we have blended: vegetables and vegetables with very bright colors, such as beets or spinach, they can end up “dyeing” the plastic parts of the blender. In this case, we can use a cotton cloth soaked in pure vinegar to eliminate the colored streaks and restore the blender to its original color.
