Cleaning and caring for your bamix® hand blender to keep it looking like new

Clean your hand blender in 10 seconds

The great advantage of a bamix® is that it’s ready to use again in seconds. Instead of taking the blender apart, clean it right after use. This saves time and keeps it looking like new for years. This guide shows you step by step how to clean and care for your hand blender.

Quick cleaning after every use

1. Fill a tall container with warm water and a drop of washing-up liquid.
2. Immerse the bamix® with the blade attached and run it for a few seconds.
3. Rinse with clean water and dry the shaft.

Running the blender briefly in soapy water cleans it practically by itself, much like puréeing. Residue won’t have a chance to dry on.

What you should be sure to keep in mind

• Never immerse the motor unit: Only put the shaft with the attachment into the water; never submerge the motor housing or handle.
• Do not put it in the dishwasher: The motor unit must not go in the dishwasher. It’s best to clean blades and discs by hand.
• Unplug before cleaning: For corded models, unplug the appliance before changing the attachment.
• Allow to dry thoroughly: Dry all parts completely before putting them away to prevent residue from building up.

Caring for blades and discs

The multi-purpose blade, beater disc and powder disc are durable, but benefit from a little attention. Rinse off stubborn residue, such as dough or sticky sauces, with warm water and dry the attachments thoroughly. This will keep the edges in excellent condition for a long time. The attachment overview explains what each one is for.

If a part does show signs of wear, you can find a replacement in the bamix® spare parts collection—another reason why a bamix® is worth owning for years.

Cleaning the beaker and accessories

Beakers, the stand and the Processor are easy to wash by hand. Take the Processor apart for cleaning and handle the blade with care. Find out more in the article bamix® accessories: beakers, Processor & stand.

Frequently asked questions about cleaning

Is the bamix® dishwasher-safe?

The motor unit is not. It’s best to clean attachments and beakers by hand with warm water—which only takes a few seconds anyway.

How do I remove stubborn residue?

Run the blender briefly in warm soapy water. For residue that is firmly stuck, soak the part for a few minutes, then run it briefly in the water again.

What’s the best way to store the bamix®?

Store it somewhere dry and within easy reach, ideally on the stand or wall mount, so it’s ready to use again as soon as it has dried.

Conclusion

With proper cleaning, a bamix® will serve you for decades. The secret is to clean it straight away in warm soapy water: quick, thorough and gentle. This keeps your hand blender hygienic and powerful. Return to the overview in the complete hand blender guide.
