			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.
