The Appropriate Methods Of Cleaning Your Herb Grinders

By Frances Sullivan


Getting a quality grind to use on your herbs is paramount. It will ensure that you get the best results when you are doing the grinding. This is a gadget that is cylindrical in shape and has two sections one at the upper side and the other one at the lower side. The two parts are separate. Both of these sections have sharp blades that when you turn the two half's, then the herbs will be shredded. Using the product is simple, but here is what you need to know when it comes to the cleaning Herb Grinders.

One thing that you need to know is that you should limit the cleaning to only when it is necessary because it is a risky activity. When you are cleaning it, you should avoid using strong detergents that you are not sure about or hard things like a metal cleaner. When you use soap or any other detergent, chances are you may not rinse it well which may lead to corrosion.

If you do not rinse the soap well, the chances are that it may contaminate the gadget making is unusable because it is not wise to use anything contaminated as it ruins whatever you are preparing. Other things that you must not use are sharp objects like nails and knives. The scratches that the objects leave become hiding places for dirt and germs.

The reason why you need to limit the cleaning to only certain times is that the more you clean it, the more the chances of making scratches on it, thus spoiling it even more. By using a small brush, you can clean the device well without causing problems. The brush should have very soft bristles that are smaller than the ones on a toothbrush. The brush will help remove the debris without spoiling the grinder.

If you notice that some spots have a stubborn stain that is not easy to clean, then you should use alcohol. This product will make the stain come off leaving your grinder as good as new. The best part about alcohol is the fact that it is easy to wring out.

You should also consider what way you are going to use to dry the grinder. Do not use the tissue products or paper to dry. This is because the lint will get to your herbs. When drying, the best materials to use are the cloths of the air drying products. To prevent it from rust, then use the hair dryer but do not use it close to the machine.

This method is suitable for spice herbal products, pollen press, and metal products. If you are cleaning wood acrylic, you should brush and warm water as rubbing alcohol may damage the wood or acrylic.

For better results take time and ensure you have purchased a quality brush for cleaning. The cost of the brush is affordable and since they will help you maintain your grinder and keep it looking new always, then make an effort and get one for yourself. When you are purchasing the grinder, ask about the brush as well.
