spatula disintegrating

I do the same as you JD and find that as it is so quick to clean I nearly always manage to do it after dishing up, during the mad scramble to get everyone sitting at the table. I can clean it quicker than my kids (boys mind you so it takes a while to filter through) can process the instruction to "sit at the table 'cause dinner is ready".

Pippa it is just so easy to self-clean the TMX.  Soak the bowl as soon as it is emptied if you want to eat the meal immediately, never leave it sitting there unsoaked. I often do mine immediately though, adding enough warm water to cover the blades, a small squirt of dishwashing liquid and a whizz on speed 4 or 5 for 20 seconds or even less usually does a darn good job.  I then dismantle it and clean anything that might be stuck but 90% of the time the self-clean does the job for me and I then just rinse it with fresh water and wipe dry.

I agree JD.  It is really important to soak as soon as you empty.  I made this mistake once with bread dough and I vowed never to leave it to dry on again.  Ugghhh.  That was a mess to clean.
And the quick whizz with warm water and dish drops does the trick.
I put the other pieces, MC and lid into the dishwasher sometimes.  Especially after making something really sticky and/or gooey.

  I know a place that sells a great little brush for cleaning the nooks and crannies of the Thermomix but they're out of stock at the moment.
