Help cleaning blender???

[Calluna]

I have a Lumina Blender and Grinder from Aldi which MIL uses to make her breakfast everyday then leaves still dirty on the bench. Now it's got gross bits of fruit stuck at the bottom of the blender and I can't get it clean. The box says it's "detachable for easy cleaning" but I can't work out how. The instructions are useless and only show how to put it together.
Anyone have one and know how to do it??

I wish people would respect my property even if they dont respect thier own

I usually just soak things in boiling water - that usually gets rid of any caked on stuff? And then hide it so that she can't use it!!

[Calluna]

Tried that already, it's like it's been there for a few weeks and she's just ignored it or not noticed. Every time I look at it I feel sick, it's never properly cleaned

I was going to put it away but I thought that might be a bit too passive aggressive.

[MummaSue]

Nightmare!! It must be really caked on!

Hmmm, that's all I got hun LOL.

[Calluna]

Lol that's ok. Thanks anyway

I don't have that blender but I know with mine if you turn it upside down the bit underneath screws undone-took me ages to figure it out cos it didn't look like it did.

[Calluna]

That's what I thought too, and that's the way it assembles according to the instructions but I tried it and it wont budge.

maybe I should just give it to MIL and buy myself a new one when I need it. We rarely use it anyway.

[Eenee]

Mine was really tight to undo, so maybe that's the problem. stupid MIL's LOL

[Calluna]

Yea, maybe. I'll give it another go.

Put hot water in it and a few drops of dishwashing liquid. Turn it on and it will act as a dishwasher. It might take a couple of goes but it works every time. Get in the habit of doing this immediately after you use it and you'll never have the problem again

For really really really gross caked on stuff I fill with hot water and throw in a dishwasher tablet. Lifts everything off.

[Calluna]

Thanks I'll give it a go.

Rouge - it's not me leaving it gross, it's MIL. She uses it at 6am every morning (almost directly outside our bedroom door when we're all still asleep ) and leaves it sitting on the bench until the next day when she uses it or one of us cleans it.
