How to clean a milkshake maker
The easiest way to clean any milkshake maker is to fill the mixer cup with soapy water and to run it as you would while making a milkshake. This movement cleans the mixing blade and spindle. Afterward, wash the cup in soapy water and dry it. You can then clean the rest of the milkshake equipment by wiping it down with a wet sponge.
