To clean your mixing paddle you will need a tub or container around the same size as the one you are using for mixing, filled with hot soapy water |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
 |
|
Step 1 – Disconnect paddle from power tool
Remove the paddle from the drill or mixer if it’s a powered paddle.
If it’s a manual paddle, you are ready to clean. |
|

|
Step 2 – Grip paddle’s shaft
Grasp the shaft-end firmly with both hands. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
 |
|
Step 3 – Submerge head of paddle
Place the head of the paddle into the bucket of hot soapy water, so that the portion with material stuck to it is below the surface of the water. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
 |
|
Step 4 – Work paddle vigorously
Move the paddle up and down vigorously, until it comes of the water clean. Try not to allow the paddle to come above the surface of the water. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
 |
|
Step 5 – Check for remaining material
Make sure there is no material remaining on the paddle, as this could break off during the mixing of future batches and cause problems. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
 |
|
Step 6 – Dry paddle
After the paddle is clean, soak up any moisture using a dry cloth to prevent rusting. |
