the bacteria thing is real tho, I clean mine after every use now. I live in a geriatric home with 13 other super old women and the cans have to be opened and there is a lot of tomato paste and beans to open. Takes like 10 seconds with a damp cloth.
Best way to clean gunk off a Hamilton Beach can opener?

steel scrub pad is overkill imo
finally someone said it. All you need is a damp cloth if you actually maintain your can opener. The same people who use scrub pads for the blade and let their can opener sit for 6 months to get all gross and then act shocked when it needs cleaning with heavy duty products will tell you this.

some people enjoy maintaining stuff instead of throwing it in a landfill every 2 years lmao
got the cover off and it was easier than I thought. The gunk under the cover was actually disgusting, worse than I ever imagined. Vinegar soak in a bit of a napkin right now.

see, told yall
WD40 on the gear teeth. Before anyone yells at me for using WD40 on something that touches food, food grade silicone spray works too and its safer for the kids. Dry gear teeth are why the can opener dies not the dried juice in the teeth.

absolutely do not spray wd40 on something that touches your food, what is wrong with you

I said food grade silicone in case you were squeamish about spraying silicone spray on your food. WD40 is not poison like some people think, its been used on food processing equipment for decades.
What about the magnet that holds the lid? Does that ever get gross and need to be cleaned too?
magnet gets crud on it for sure. Its usually from the metal shavings from the edge of the lid. Wipe it off when you do the deep clean with a paper towel.
