Washing by Hand
Step 1
Detach the salad spinner lid and attached pump from the salad spinner basket. The basket should still be resting inside the colander.
Step 2
Squeeze some antibacterial dish soap into the salad spinner basket.
Step 3
Run the faucet until the water is hot. Place the colander and basket under the faucet and fill halfway with hot water.
Step 4
Place the salad spinner lid and pump back on the colander.
Step 5
Push down the salad spinner pump quickly to move the basket inside the bowl. The spinning action will circulate the soap and water through the device's parts.
Step 6
Remove the lid when the basket has stopped spinning. Pour most of the soap and water out of the colander.
Step 7
Wipe the salad spinner basket with a sponge to remove food particles from the holes in the basket. Remove the basket from the colander, and scrub the colander. Scrub the lid and spinner as well.
Step 8
Dry the salad spinner with a towel.
Dishwasher
Step 1
Separate the salad spinner lid from the basket and colander. Do not try to separate the lid from the pump. They should stay attached.
Step 2
Pull the basket and colander apart.
Step 3
Place each component on the top rack of the dishwasher. If the top rack can't accommodate the colander, place it on the bottom rack.
Step 4
Fill the dishwasher's soap receptacle with dishwasher detergent.
Step 5
Run the dishwasher on a normal wash cycle. Allow the dishwasher to dry all components thoroughly.
