I've got mould in the little squares of my salad spinner. What's the best way to clean it?

Thread the nut counter clockwise.

The plunger on mine cannot be removed. I just checked it to make sure. If you remove it, you have broken the unit. Just rinse with water. The plunger should not get dirty of used properly. A rinse under running water is enough.

I don't have a salad spinner at home. All I do it rinse the lettuce, leave it basically "standing up" inside of a collander and let the water drip off. If I don't have enough time to leave it til it drys on its own, I sometimes shake it out and then wrap in it paper towel for a few minutes.

I haven't heard that but I'm guessing the myth has more to do with getting mushrooms wet. Some chefs say that if by washing mushrooms off with water, it rids them of some of their earthy flavor. Many chefs at nice resaurants simply rub the dirt off of mushrooms, not soak them.

This is most likely because the seal for the top spray bar is bad/missing or has debris in it or in the pump.

I like a product called whizz mould and mildew remover have used this on many things before even on a mothercare pushchair hood but it was a waterproof hood so not as absorbent. Maybe do a spot test first somewhere inconspicuous.

With a brake!! enjoy :)

A salad spinner washes and takes away extra water from the lettuce/spinach/etc. The lettuce spins around which creates a centrifugal force. This force gets rid of the water.

Just plug it and press the power on button.Make sure that you plug it in the correct power.
