How to Maintain your Blender Jar

maintain your blender jar

A little over a year ago, we shared with you tips on how to clean your blender jars. Due to the many comments on that post, we've decided to give you some more tips on the best ways to maintain your Blendtec blender jars.

Clean your jar after every use.

 

How to Maintain your Blender Jar

 

In the blender:

  1. Use your Spectacula (with the Twister jar) or your Spoonula (with the FourSide and WildSide* jars) to scrape out all the delicious food you've just made.
  2. Fill the jar with 1 to 1½ cups water and 1 to 2 drops of soap. Secure the lid.
  3. Press "Pulse" a few times.
  4. Rinse, drain, and dry.

By hand:

  1. Use your Spectacula (with the Twister jar) or your Spoonula (with the FourSide and WildSide jars) to scrape out all the delicious food you've just made.
  2. Wash in the sink with soapy water.
  3. Use a nonabrasive dish cloth. (Using abrasive products, such as Scotch pads and nylon brushes, can scratch the jar.)
  4. Rinse, drain, and dry.

In the dishwasher:

  1. Use your Spectacula (with the Twister jar) or your Spoonula (with the FourSide and WildSide jars) to scrape out all the delicious food you've just made.
  2. Fill the jar with 1 to 1½ cups water and 1 to 2 drops of soap. Secure the lid.
  3. Press "Pulse" a few times.
  4. Place the jar on the top rack of your dishwasher. Do not run on the heat setting.

Note: Lemon-based detergents can etch the jars, making them look cloudy.

How other customers wash their jars:

  1. Fill the jar with 1 to 1½ cups water and 1 to 2 drops of soap. Secure the lid.
  2. Select "Batters." (This cycle is great for cleaning your jar after making thicker blends, like bread doughs and batters.)
  3. Rinse, drain, and dry.
OR
  1. Rinse your jar under warm running water.
  2. Fill the jar with 1 to 1½ cups water and 1 to 2 drops of soap. Secure the lid.
  3. Press "Pulse" a few times.
  4. Rinse, drain, and dry.
  Bonus Tips:
  • Clean your jar immediately after use, don’t let food sit in it.
  • Before each use, turn the blade with your hand from the bottom of the jar by spinning the drive shaft.
  • If the jar hasn’t been used over an extended period of time, you may want to put warm water in it and let it sit for 15 minutes, dump it out and then turn the blade with your hand to ensure it’s not stuck.

  *The WildSide jar is no longer available for purchase. Please check out our new and improved WildSide+ jar. You can also look at our Vita-Mix replacement jar option.

    My blendtec blender is screeching when in use, sounds like it needs “oiling”; and after use there is debris on the base where the drive fits into the base.
    We love our blender. Can you please tell me how to restore it.

    Thank you

    Hello,

    i wouldn’t recommend using essential oils since there are some that can cause cosmetic damage to the jar.


  • Janet Chavez Sep 07, 2017

    Hello,

    Please call our customer care team and we can help replace that!

    I have been using my Blendtec for nearly 5 years without any problems. Recently, it has been sounding quite rough and it seems like the blade needs to be lubricated or something. What should I do? I can’t live without it!!
