Cleaning a sieve?!

Mine got chia and flax seeds wedged in it, I put it in the bath and used my water flosser on it!! Result!

Chia seeds! I get them in my toothbrush and have to clean it with a tiny child’s fork. And soak everything that has them in or they go all over my washing up brush or sponge! And, once dry they stick like concrete…

I stick mine in the dishwasher washer comes out like new.
No dishwasher, soak in Milton to get rid of the staining. Good rinse after obviously.

Doesn't the dishwasher get full of debris?

No, I use the dishwasher too. If there are any pips and large bits with skin they end up in the filter at the bottom, the tiny bits go down the drain, and I’ve never ended up with the sieve being clogged.

I just use a washing-up brush to scrub and poke through the holes inside and outside of the sieve. A nail brush would do the job too. It takes only a few moments.
You have reminded me that there are some nearby blackberries which need picking.

Have you got a blender you could use instead? Easier to clean the blades and probably a similar texture.

I do have a blender but it doesn't get rid of the pips
