Keep reading for everyday and deep-cleaning walkthroughs!<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Step_1_Make_sure_its_unplugged\"><\/span>Step 1: Make sure it\u2019s unplugged<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Trust us, getting your hand caught in a stand mixer, even at a lower speed setting, isn\u2019t a fun experience. Getting water inside your mixer while it\u2019s plugged in could give you a nasty shock. Cut those potential injuries out of the equation entirely by making sure you\u2019ve unplugged your appliance before you start any cleaning or maintenance.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Everyday_Cleaning\"><\/span>Everyday Cleaning<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">To prevent mold, mildew, or caked-on food debris, your stand mixer needs to be cleaned after each use. Here\u2019s how:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Time:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> less than 10 minutes<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Tools:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> damp (not wet) rag or sponge, dish soap, warm water, drying cloth<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Once your stand mixer is turned off and unplugged, remove any attachments, including the bowl and fill guard. Wash these items by hand in hot, soapy water or by placing them in the dishwasher if they are dishwasher safe \u2013 some attachments, like the whisk, are not, and will corrode if run through the dishwasher. Consult your mixer\u2019s manual before popping anything in the dishwasher.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you have a stainless steel bowl, you can additionally use a stainless steel cleaner on it to remove any water spots or smudges.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Next, wipe down the body of your stand mixer with a damp (not wet) sponge or cloth, making sure to clean the base, pedestal, and head. Be sure to clean the beater shaft with a damp sponge or rag. If you used the attachment hub at the top of the mixer head, this can usually be cleaned with a dry q-tip or toothbrush.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Use a clean cloth or dish towel to dry everything off, particularly the mixer body and whichever attachments were used. Ensuring your stand mixer\u2019s accessories are dry before they\u2019re put away will help combat rust.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Finally, for standard post-use cleaning, make sure you check around your mixer for any spatter. You\u2019ll likely need to clean the space where the mixer was set up at a minimum, but you\u2019d be surprised by how many odd places flour and batter can end up. Check walls and cabinets nearby and wipe them down if needed.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Deep_Cleaning_Your_Standing_Mixer\"><\/span>Deep Cleaning Your Standing Mixer<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Depending on how often you use it, your standing mixer may need a deeper cleaning once or twice a year or as frequently as once a month. Here\u2019s how to handle a deeper cleaning:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li aria-level=\"1\"><b>Time: <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">15 &#8211; 30 minutes<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Tools:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> damp (not wet) rag or sponge, a firm bristle toothbrush or q-tips, toothpicks, baking soda, dish soap or a mild cleanser of your choice<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Deep cleaning your stand mixer starts much the same as your standard everyday cleaning. Hand wash any attachments that need cleaning \u2013 accessories like safety guards and fill guides can have gunk trapped in their nooks and crannies \u2013 then do an initial wipe-down of the body of the mixer with a damp cloth or sponge.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Once you\u2019ve wiped the body down, carefully turn your mixer over on its side and clean the bottom. Make sure the mixer\u2019s feet are intact and clear of debris. If your stand mixer is missing feet or if they\u2019re falling apart, it may start to move across your countertop when in use, so be sure to replace them if you see any issues. If you always leave your stand mixer out on the counter, be sure to wipe down the countertop, as well.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">After you\u2019ve done your first pass with a damp cloth, the next step is to bust out the detailing tools. Use a dry toothbrush or q-tip on the following spots:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The vent at the back \u2013 this will help with airflow to the mixer.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Any of the crevices around the accessory hub, if your mixer has one, and the beater shaft.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Each lever and the area around them.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Tilt the head back and clean underneath it \u2013 you may want to use a damp sponge here, too. Once you\u2019ve gotten this spot clean, be sure to dry it thoroughly before lowering the head again.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you\u2019ve got stubborn gunk or rust spots, you have two fairly easy options for getting rid of dirt:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you\u2019re dealing with buildup in a spot that\u2019s tough to reach, like the vent, and a toothbrush isn\u2019t getting it, use a toothpick to scrape out the dirt.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For rust spots, stains on the body of the mixer, and other stubbornly stuck-on gunk, make a paste out of baking soda and a bit of water. Apply it to to the stain and let it sit for around 10 minutes before scrubbing it gently in a circular motion with a toothbrush and then wiping it away. This mild abrasive should get rid of most stains without damaging your mixer.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Again, before you call the job done, be sure to dry everything off completely to help fight rust or other issues.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Extra_Mixer_Cleaning_Maintenance_Tips\"><\/span>Extra Mixer Cleaning &#038; Maintenance Tips<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We\u2019ve got a few cleaning tips that apply to just about any brand and model of home stand mixer.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Hand_wash_the_attachments_especially_the_whisk\"><\/span>Hand wash the attachments, especially the whisk.<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you have an older stand mixer, the metal beaters (sometimes called polished aluminum or burnished beaters) are generally not dishwasher safe. The whisk (KitchenAid calls it a Wire Whip), especially, can start to corrode after just one trip through the dishwasher. While this isn\u2019t harmful, it does give you extra work and weakens your mixer\u2019s accessories. When cleaning, don\u2019t let attachments soak too long, as this can also cause corrosion.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Some newer stand mixers do come with metallic finish attachments that are dishwasher safe. Check your stand mixer\u2019s manual or brand website for specific washing guidelines from the manufacturer, but as a general rule, burnished attachments are not dishwasher safe while the coated ones usually are.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Your_stand_mixer_cant_stand_up_to_too_much_water\"><\/span>Your stand mixer can\u2019t stand up to too much water!<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Any moisture could seep into the stand mixer\u2019s head and damage the mechanical components. This sort of damage can gum up the works, making your mixer noisy, slow, or stopping it from working entirely. Thankfully, almost all stand mixer issues are fixable, but it\u2019s still a task and an additional extra cost that you probably want to avoid if you can, so:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A damp rag or sponge should be sufficient for most cleanings. Wring out your cleaning tools before using them on the body of your stand mixer. If you\u2019re dealing with stubborn stains, use the baking soda paste trick we described above.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Apply any cleaner you plan on using to your cleaning tool, not the appliance itself. If you spray cleaner directly onto the body, you risk that soap reaching the gearcase.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Don\u2019t ever submerge your stand mixer\u2019s body in water, and don\u2019t put any part of the mixer body in the dishwasher.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Avoiding_rust_and_corrosion_is_easy\"><\/span>Avoiding rust and corrosion is easy.<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There are a few things you can do to avoid rusting on your mixer and its accessories.<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Be sure to dry all attachments and accessories completely before putting them away. This can also help to prevent water spots or potential mildew growth.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Don\u2019t use bleach-based cleaning agents on any part of your mixer. Bleach can particularly cause rust to form on stainless steel.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Is_there_a_strange_gray_residue_in_your_stainless_steel_mixer_bowl\"><\/span>Is there a strange gray residue in your stainless steel mixer bowl?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Don\u2019t worry! It\u2019s harmless \u2013 just annoying, and it can potentially discolor any food you put in the bowl. This residue is a product of the mechanical polishing process, and it can be difficult to get rid of even with thorough scrubbing.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">To clear it up, you\u2019ll need some olive oil:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Put a tablespoon or so of olive oil in the bowl and spread it around the interior.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Let it sit for three to five minutes, then wipe the oil out.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Thoroughly clean the bowl with <\/span><b>hot <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">water and dish detergent.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If that doesn\u2019t do the trick, you can also try a mild abrasive \u2013 either lemon juice and salt mixed together, or a baking soda and water paste.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li aria-level=\"1\"><b>Disassemble accessories to clean them more easily. <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Mixer accessories like grinders and pasta makers can be disassembled for easier cleaning, but that still doesn\u2019t make it a breezy experience. Use a toothbrush to reach nooks and crannies in these more complicated attachments, and otherwise consult your manual for additional cleaning tips and instructions.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_wrong_beater_height_can_cause_a_host_of_problems\"><\/span>The wrong beater height can cause a host of problems.<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A beater that\u2019s set too high can leave a bunch of unmixed ingredients in the bottom of your bowl. If it\u2019s too low, it can damage your attachments, your bowl, or cause the head of the mixer to knock our bounce. It\u2019s not a bad idea to check your stand mixer\u2019s beater height about once a year (or as soon as you start noticing issues). The proper height will depend on your mixer\u2019s make and model, but almost all stand mixers can be adjusted in roughly the same way:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">First, turn off and unplug your mixer if you haven\u2019t already.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Next, raise the head of your stand mixer or lower the bowl (whichever you need to do to access the underside of the head) and lock it into this raised position. This will allow you to locate the adjustment screw to raise or lower your beater height.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Using an appropriate screwdriver, make quarter turns either clockwise or counterclockwise to raise or lower the beater height.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Wrapping_Up\"><\/span>Wrapping Up<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">With this guide, you should have no trouble keeping your stand mixer shiny and in great shape.
