The short answer is yes, you can put the Nutribullet blade in the dishwasher. However, there are some drawbacks and risks involved. Read on to find out more.

How to Clean the Nutribullet Blade in the Dishwasher

The Nutribullet blade is made of stainless steel and plastic, which are both dishwasher-safe materials. However, that doesn’t mean that you can just throw it in the dishwasher without any precautions. Here are some things to keep in mind when cleaning the Nutribullet blade in the dishwasher:

• Remove any food residue from the blade before putting it in the dishwasher. You can rinse it under running water or use a soft brush to gently scrub it.
• Place the blade in the top rack of the dishwasher, away from any sharp or heavy items that could damage it. You can also use a cutlery basket or a mesh bag to protect it from other dishes.
• Use a mild detergent and a gentle cycle. Avoid using bleach, abrasive cleaners or high temperatures that could corrode or warp the blade.
• Dry the blade thoroughly after washing it. You can either let it air dry or use a soft cloth to wipe it. Do not leave it wet or damp, as this could cause rusting or bacterial growth.

The Pros and Cons of Cleaning the Nutribullet Blade in the Dishwasher

Cleaning the Nutribullet blade in the dishwasher might seem like a convenient and easy option, but it also has some drawbacks and risks. Here are some of the pros and cons of using the dishwasher to clean your Nutribullet blade:

Pros:

• It saves you time and effort. You don’t have to wash the blade by hand, which can be tedious and messy.
• It sanitizes the blade. The dishwasher can kill any germs or bacteria that might be lurking on the blade, especially if you use a hot cycle.
• It preserves the sharpness of the blade. Washing the blade by hand can dull it over time, as you might accidentally nick or scratch it with a sponge or a knife.

Cons:

• It can damage the blade. The dishwasher can expose the blade to high temperatures, harsh chemicals and mechanical stress that can cause corrosion, warping or cracking.
• It can reduce the lifespan of the blade. The dishwasher can wear out the blade faster, as it can loosen or damage the seal that keeps water and air out of the motor base.
• It can affect the performance of the blade. The dishwasher can dull or bend the blade, which can affect its ability to blend smoothly and evenly.
