How To Clean Your Kitchen Stand Mixer

Cleaning your kitchen appliances is essential on a daily basis. They accumulate food remains which can later produce different kind of bacteria that will remain on them for the next usage i.e. food preparation.

One of the kitchen appliances that is best to be cleaned after every use but also to be given a thorough clean up once in a while is also your kitchen stand mixer. So, what are you supposed to do?

Wipe your stand mixer with a damp cloth/kitchen towel after every use to remove the remaining food on it. But, every once in a while it's good to give it a more thorough clean up.

Here's how you do it: 

• Put the beating bowls and the rest of the kitchen stand mixer attachments into a dish washing machine if the manufacturer says it's safe to do so. If no,t give them a nice wash with soap and water and dry them well after it, to avoid any rustiness.
• The kitchen stand mixer is something you prepare food with, so make sure you use non-toxic cleaners. Unplug your mixer and spray it with a non-toxic cleaner, or your can do it with regular vinegar.
• Leave it for a little while to sit, so that the hard and very dirty areas can get softer. Vinegar will soften all the hard and greasy stains and make them easy to wipe off.
• After that, wipe well the mixer with a clean wet towel or kitchen rag as many times you need to remove all the cleaner/vinegar and remaining stains. 
• Than dry it up with a clean dry cloth, and you are done.  
• Don't forget to also clean under the mixer by lifting the top.
