That&#8217;s because your pasta machine is actually dirty and needs to be cleaned.<\/span><\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: medium;\"><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">With the older versions of the pasta machines, we used to be able to take them apart and do a good job of cleaning out the insides. It was a pain, but at least it was doable. Now with the newer models of these machines, the inside mechanisms are designed in such a way that they will not go back together, if you take them apart. So it is important that you do not try and take your machine apart&#8230; a broken machine is worse than a dirty machine!<\/span><\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: medium;\"><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">So what we have to do is clean it as best as possible from the outside.<\/span><\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: medium;\"><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">One way to clean your machine is to use a Baby Wipe or Kitchen Wipe.<\/span><\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: medium;\"><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">Start first by using a dry paper towel to wipe up all the crumbles of clay, glitter, dust and what-have-you, from under and around your pasta machine.<\/span><\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: medium;\"><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">Then you want to take your wipe and clean off the whole clay conditioning machine, starting at the top. Pay attention to the rollers (turning handle while cleaning) and the scrapers underneath. Make sure to check the edges of the rollers, which is where clay tends to get stuck in the crevices.<\/span><\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: medium;\"><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">As long as the surface is clean it can really help to keep your clay cleaner when run through the pasta machine.<\/span><\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: medium;\"><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">In some future videos, I will show you how to get a deeper clean, by reaching more into the inside of the machine.<a name=\"video\"><\/a><\/span><\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/WYmRzH0Ti1o?rel=0\" width=\"575\" height=\"431\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><br \/>\n<strong><span style=\"font-size: large; color: #808080;\">Question of the Day:<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: medium;\"><span style=\"color: #993300;\">Do you have issues with a dirty pasta machine?
