If you want to know the best way to clean and disassemble your OXO salad spinner, keep watching because I’m going to show you. Today I’m talking about my favorite salad spinner, the OXO Good Grips Salad Spinner: how I clean it on a day to day basis, and how to disassemble it in case you need to do a thorough cleaning. There’s 3 methods I use for everyday cleaning: rinsing, dishwasher, and wiping down.
-----
Disassembly:
I’m gonna start by making sure that the pump mechanism is unlocked, and then I’m gonna flip the lid upside down. Take a look at these three white tabs. These need to be rotated just slightly into these wider gaps to allow the mechanism to disassemble. Grab a screw-driver or butterknife or anything that will help you put a little pressure on those tabs. Keep alternating between the tabs and putting a little pressure to get them to move, while being careful not to mangle them with too much pressure. Eventually, the apparatus will rotate to your desire (and don't be surprised if this happens rather suddenly, as that's what happened to me). The mechanism will likely spring apart at this point, but if not, just gently pull the pump off of the lid. It should now be in three pieces: the pump, the spring, and the lid. At this point, you’ll be able to use a brush to clean the inside, or a towel to get excess water out, or you can just leave it open to air-dry.
Putting it back together is a little bit tricky, cuz there’s a few things to pay attention to. First, notice the metal corkscrew in the pump; it moves freely, but it will have to be inserted into the white plastic hole in the center of the lid. Second, notice the cutout tabs in the pump and this white ring that will need to be aligned with the locking mechanism. And third, don’t forget to put the spring back in, because you will be very disappointed when your salad spinner doesn’t work without it. Start with putting the spring on, make sure the locking tabs are mostly aligned, and then do your best to get the metal corkscrew in the right place; it might take a couple tries, and if you find it’s aligned but won’t go in for some reason, try rotating the little white piece on the underside of the lid until it works. It’s tricky to do this by yourself, so it might help to have someone else rotate the white piece. Once everything is in place, set it upside down on the counter and grab your screwdriver again to rotate those tabs. Once the tabs are secure, replace your lid on the salad spinner and you are done.

The oxo salad spinner top does not just come apart with a shake! I have tried everything apart from breaking the *! thing to get it apart to clean!
Those F’n tabs won’t budge
It took quite a bit of carefully applied pressure the first time I did it. Good luck.
The ring has to be lined up correctly. The tabs have specific holes that they must be inserted in. If you examine the bottom of the ring, you will notice that there is a space which lines up with the black plunger release slide. That space has to lineup with the plunger release slide first. Once you do that, the tabs should move relatively easily. It took me a while to figure that out.
Could you please explain more fully? The black plunger release slide is incrusted in a kind of indention in the lid. It moves a couple of millimeters to and away from the center of the lid, but I don't see any other movement options.
Thank you! This was extremely helpful. We cleaned the mold out and reassembled it. And I know how to clean the spinner properly now.
Thank you for that thorough, clear and concise instruction! Best I've seen on this topic.
If you have trouble reassembling the top because you can't get the screw/turning mechanism in place, try sitting the top half of the top (with the handle) on a flat surface. The screw should be facing up. Then you can hold the screw in place with a pair of long tweezers and ease the bottom half of the top onto the screw from above.
You seem pretty awesome. Especially since that top part of the spinner with unreachable mold was tormenting me; the knowledge it can actually be disassembled has relieved my soul.
Glad to help!
Wow! So many comments on other sites said it couldn’t be thoroughly cleaned, so I wasn’t going to buy one. Now I can thanks to your thorough, patient explanation! TYVM! Subscribed!
Watched this video to learn how to clean the top of the salad spinner. Worked like a charm. I used a toothbrush to clean some of the easy to reach spots inside the top but then also used a Water Pik on highest pressure and Q-Tips to clean the hard to reach spots. Thanks for posting.
Could not for the life of me get thing to open by using screw driver on white tabs. In fact almost stuck the screwdriver into my wrist (dumb angle I tried, beware folks) at one point. Any tips?
I have the same problem. I think it has to go into landfill.
I got up the next morning and it just popped apart with little effort lol. I think i just needed a break from it haha.
It wasn't easy, but I was able to fully disassemble and reassemble thanks to this video!
I bought this a few months ago, but just opened it and immediately thought, "What a dumb design. That's going to get all moldy inside." I was hoping I missed something in disassembly, but I did not. Thanks for the video.
Omg thank you !!! I saw a different video and i could not figure out what i was doing wrong but your video made it so much easier to understand. Thank you
Thank you.......this is just the video I needed. I can't believe it was that easy!! Thank you!
If you can't shake the lids apart, like me and several others, hold the top of the pump with one hand and pull on the bottom cylinder with the other. It took me a good yank, but it came off. I was able to snap it back on after cleaning, and it still worked. It still won't just shake off.
I used a hairdryer to speed up the drying. I found out as stated, that it's useful to keep rotating the screwdriver on all the tabs and they do suddenly pop out. Constant but not too hard pressure on ALL the tabs while switching.
These directions should come with the salad spinner. I have been doing the wrong for several years!
Thank you! I have been trying for months to disassemble the spinner.
Now you know!
I could not get the locking mechanism to snap back into place. It is lined up and works but it will not snap back in. Maybe I should have not snapped it out! Any ideas?
Re: my OXO mini salad spinner. Could not perform the first step of shaking out the top's two main pieces. They would not come apart either by shaking or pulling. Any ideas?
Oh thank you for such a detailed assembly i had a problem of that
Thank You Dennis, you helped a lot! I needed to clean and get the mold out of the inside mechanism. A paint brush and long Q-Tips did the trick with soapy hot water. Then air drying. Like you said it was a little tricky getting it all back together, where the lock worked. I watched that part 3 times!
Glad to help!
I gotta love that YT! Your video One of the parts came off inside the spinning mechanism, causing it to come apart in a very different way. Your disassembly/re-assembly instructions saved me about $40 from getting a new spinner! I'll see how it goes next time I need to wash my lettuce. Thanks Dennis!
My oxo fell onto floor and came apart in the middle. No matter what I have to get the top off. But I can't. Have tried your method but those white tabs won't budge, (yes it is unlocked)
Have tried other recommendation pushing both above and below lock slider, no click. Plastic around pump button not very flexible. Would some sort of lubricant, eg silicone help?
Does this work for the stainless steel version? For the longest time the stainless steel one seemed to use a different spinner (2020 version) but it looks like there’s a new version that uses the same spinner as the one in the video?
Omg im so glad you made this video!!!
Thanks very much!
Thank you. Terrifically useful.
Thank you, Dennis! Very helpful 😉
Dennis, how can this possibly be your favorite salad spinner when it is so hard to clean the mechanism. Mine got so moldy, after cleaning it and reassembling it, the spinner did not work as well. No household kitchen item should need a screwdriver to clean. Please let us know if there are spinners that do not collect mold.
My lid lock doesn’t work anymore, but otherwise this worked. User error I’m sure. It’s possible I broke it when I threw this on the floor in anger when I couldn’t get the lid on!
Your powers of speculation are unmatched.
Thank you. That worked great.
ふたの中の汚れが取れました！ありがとう！
Brilliant. Thank you so much.
I have an OXO large spinner, but it looks a bit different from yours. I should have watched this before I just started yanking it apart! I did get it back together, but I must not have the screw in place because it's not spinning. Will try again. Thanks for the video!
Good luck!
Thank you very much! 😊❤️
Does anybody know a fully plastic-free salad spinner? Thanks!
I shook that thing silly and it won't come apart. I'm bummed!
Love the OXO spinner also. Just wanted you to know there are actually buttons inside to press to take the two parts apart only found that out because mine did not come apart by shaking so I looked for something to release them. Great video.
Could you describe GT hose in more detail? Thanks
Thanks for not telling where the buttons are.
X ...easy wen u 'know how' as soon as i opened the box i thort 'spring inside :/... do not submerge in water :/ ... so how to clean or do i return... '
✓ ... so thank you v much for this info. :))
Thank you for this.
Thanks!
Still hard to reach inside to clean if something frustrates me than I toss it and that’s what I did. Bad/poor design on the manufacturers part.
well my inside mechanism has mold so this video is misleading and did not help. zi also noticed that 3 of the videos had different models that did not relate to cleaning the inner core.😮
Camera is too far away to see how you are using the screwdriver with the tabs.
My deepest apologies.
Dennis, liked the video! I have a Farberware spinner but the lid doesn’t seem to come apart. If no advice on this then no prob, have a good one
Yeah, not sure about the Farberware spinner. Good luck though!
Disgusting. The top of mine had been submerged and when I tore it apart the 'screw' was covered in some disgusting white goop. I think this is a garbage product because it is far from easy to maintain.
Thanks for the video! It helped me tear it apart.
Thanks Dennis, Ive been wondering how to dry the inside lid. Brilliant. Do you work for OXO? 🤣
Nah, I’m too cool for them… I work alone.
1:20 lid shaky shaky didn't work for me :(
So sad! 😢 Sometimes I have to try a few times.
you can just pull it and the inner lid pops out
My spinner has two tabs on the stem that one needs to push in and then pry apart. I also needed to lock the stem in the locked in position to open the two sections.
@@lindamorris1142 thanks! I will try this before I give up
I can’t get it apart either. This looks more complicated than it’s worth. Crazy that they don’t give instructions. Returning it.
Lol I want one of these, they look fun... it's a shame I don't really like salad. 😓
Oh man! They are really fun. You’re totally missing out.
Hahaha
You could spin really small loads of laundry in them.
Will this work for the small size spinner?
As far as I know, yes. But I haven’t had the chance to try it.
@@DennisfromScratch thanks for replying. FYI I tried what you did with the big one and it worked. So thanks again.
Just subscribed to your channel. Will follow you for other good info.

thankkkkkkkkkkkkkkk you for this video, just got one a few days ago
I warped mine by putting it in the dishwasher, lol. So annoying
Yeah, usually the top shelf it’s ok though.

If I knew about how hard it is to clean I would never have ordered that stupid thing. It’s going back the minute it gets here.
Otherwise it’s a great spinner. But it is a bit of a pain to clean.
Save yourself 4 minutes of your life and watch 1:18 for a couple of seconds.
Though you may have to actually pull it apart as it didn't come with just shaking with mine.
more clearly
Uhh
Uhh… yes?
During the waiting to subscribe section I disliked the video.
That’s the wrong button. You messed up the button!
Same here, it ruined a good video
