They generally use cloth, water, their hands and cleaning brushes, which does not give satisfactory cleaning and may fail to clean effectively and are not convenient to use repeatedly. The aim of this study is to understand the cleaning practices and difficulties encountered by the vendors in cleaning the machines. To design an efficient, durable and user friendly cleaning equipment for cleaning juicer-mixer-grinder. This study adopts user centric approach including primary and secondary researches.
