Cleaning a 30 YEAR OLD Kitchen Aid Mixer! 

a 30 yr kitchenaid is great, it has metal gears (they changed to plastic gears for a little). The gears are literally "gouped" with thick grease, which keeps it running smoothly. If a mixer is left to sit for long periods, or warm temps and tipped from some reason, some of that grease can escape olong the speed adjustment handle, or around the band. I used to buy old kitchenaids at garage sales for around 25.00, my husband would refurbish with new gear grease and cleaning and then I would resell. Along the way, I might have one time had 6 kitchenaids I just couldn't let go of, it was definitely an obsession, I"m down to my original Black gloss (30 yrs old also) Best/worst one was a real copper one, it was gorgeous but cleaning the copper was impossible, any moisture discolored it to black/or green, copper cleaners didn't help .

I cleaned mine a couple of weeks ago. There are 2 little screws that if you undo them you can take off the metal band that has the branding, speed control levels etc on it and really get the gunk out from behind it 🤢

You always inspire me. My 20 year old Kitchen-Aid gets the treatment tomorrow. Thanks, as always.

LOVE IT.

Thank you for this video! Very helpful.x

The gunk omg🤮 thank goodness you cleaned all that out.

😂😂😂 That’s my mixer but mine is white so it looks even worse 😮

???? Why don't you just clean it after every use. That thing was Nasty. Plenty of stuff growing in all that food crud.
