However, like other appliances, blenders also experience wear and tear over time and are often used. One common problem that often occurs in older blenders is that the blades start to become blunt.

Eggshells are used to sharpen blender blades because they have a hard texture that can help to erode the sharp part of the blade that is starting to become dull. When the eggshells are crushed in a blender, the grains act as a gentle but effective abrasive, helping to erode stains or crusts that stick to the blade and restore its sharpness.
In addition, eggshells contain calcium carbonate, which has natural abrasive properties, providing enough friction to smooth the sharp edges of the knife without damaging the material. This process not only sharpens the knife, but also helps clean the remaining material stuck to the knife, keeping it clean and sharp to its optimum.
