Compact Berry Cleaner

Description: The Compact Berry Cleaner is a simple yet effective tool for washing blueberries, raspberries, strawberries and many other small fruits. Just place it under the tap and let the built-in funnel system circulate clean water through the berries — without crushing them. Dirty water is drained out automatically through small holes at the bottom.

Design Idea: I designed this model because I often rinse berries directly in the sink, only to lose a few or damage the softer ones in the process. This cleaner creates a gentle swirl of clean water that lifts and moves the berries around, ensuring they’re evenly rinsed without pressure or friction. It’s compact, easy to hold, and works perfectly under any standard kitchen faucet.

How It Works: 

1. Place your berries inside the cleaner. 
2. Hold the side funnel under running water. 
3. The water flow is directed into the main chamber, increasing circulation pressure. 
4. Berries move gently in the clean water while dirt and residue escape through the drainage holes at the bottom. 
5. When finished, lift the cleaner and let it drain for a few seconds — your berries are ready to eat.

Print Settings: 

• Printer: Bambu Lab X1C
