Do not put the motor base in the dishwasher—water and electronics are not friends. Instead, rinse the pitcher and lid immediately after use to avoid “smoothie cement.” If you forget, fill the pitcher with warm water and a drop of dish soap, then Pulse for 30 seconds. The blades will self-clean.
Cultural reference: This is your kitchen’s self-care routine—like a skincare toner for your blender. Dry upside down on a dish rack, and you’re golden. Stubborn residue? Rub a cut lemon on the blades, then rinse. It’s a trick from old-school cocktail bars.
