It will first stick to the shaft of your blender.
Cleaning this type of blender is easier than those countertop types. First, you need to unplug it to the electrical source to prevent electrocution. You also need to remove its attachments. Clean the attachments using a cloth or sponge with soap to remove the particles. After that, clean the handle and remove the buildups that are in the buttons.
