Care Guide
Proper care and maintenance will keep your SENSORITE grinder performing at its best for years to come. Follow these simple tips to ensure a smooth, consistent grind every time.
Regular Cleaning (Weekly)
For light, routine maintenance:
- Use a soft brush (a small paintbrush or toothbrush works great) to remove residue from the teeth and chambers
- Gently tap the grinder upside down to dislodge any loose particles
- Wipe the exterior with a dry, soft cloth
Regular cleaning prevents buildup and keeps your grinder spinning smoothly.
Deep Cleaning (Monthly)
For a thorough clean:
- Disassemble your grinder completely — separate all chambers and remove any screens
- Soak each piece in isopropyl alcohol (90% or higher) for 20-30 minutes
- Use a brush or toothpick to remove stubborn residue from teeth and threads
- Rinse each piece with warm water (optional, but recommended)
- Dry completely before reassembling — air dry or use a clean cloth
Important: Make sure all pieces are 100% dry before use to prevent oxidation.
Cleaning the Kief Screen
The kief screen can get clogged over time. To clean it:
- Use a soft brush to gently sweep both sides of the screen
- For stubborn buildup, soak the screen in isopropyl alcohol for 10-15 minutes
- Use a toothpick or needle to carefully clear any blocked holes
- Let it dry completely before reassembling
Pro tip: Place your grinder in the freezer for 15-20 minutes before cleaning. This makes residue brittle and easier to remove.
Maintaining Smooth Threads
If your grinder becomes difficult to twist:
- Clean the threads with a brush dipped in isopropyl alcohol
- Wipe away any residue with a dry cloth
- Apply a tiny drop of food-grade lubricant (like coconut oil) to the threads if needed
Avoid over-tightening your grinder, as this can cause wear on the threads over time.
What to Avoid
To protect your grinder and extend its lifespan:
- Do not use water alone — water can cause oxidation on metal parts
- Do not use harsh chemicals — stick to isopropyl alcohol only
- Do not put in the dishwasher — high heat and detergents can damage the finish
- Do not use abrasive materials — avoid steel wool or rough sponges that can scratch the surface
Storage Tips
When not in use:
- Store your grinder in a cool, dry place
- Keep it away from direct sunlight and moisture
- Leave the chambers slightly loose to prevent the threads from sticking
- Consider using a protective pouch or case for travel
