How to Clean an Old-Fashioned Ice Cream Maker
- 1). Remove the crank and beater from the bucket. Use a screwdriver to remove screws from the side of the bucket, if necessary. Disassemble the crank and beater for easier cleaning.
- 2). Add liquid dish soap to hot water and wash each piece of the crank and beater separately in the sink with a sponge. Remove remaining food particles by soaking the crank and beater in 1 cup of white vinegar and 1 gallon of hot water to dissolve and disinfect. Use a nylon scrub pad to remove particles from hard-to-reach areas on the crank and beater. Rinse pieces thoroughly in cool water.
- 3). Wash the bucket completely with hot, soapy water and rinse well. Let the bucket air dry overnight.
