I wonder if you can use vinegar in it then? Do you have to use their special ultrasonic cleaning powder? Hmm ... I bet it is just a mix of vinegar and maybe borax or something like that.
Gosh, it would be great to take out the bottom part of the blender (we have a very old blender) and run it around. I have a doozie of a time cleaning that. Hence, we haven't used it in about five years - it's waaaay back on the top shelf of the pantry. Ain't no "smoothies" happening here.
