Cleaning a sieve?!

I just use a washing-up brush to scrub and poke through the holes inside and outside of the sieve. A nail brush would do the job too. It takes only a few moments.
You have reminded me that there are some nearby blackberries which need picking.

Have you got a blender you could use instead? Easier to clean the blades and probably a similar texture.

I do have a blender but it doesn't get rid of the pips

I stick mine in the dishwasher washer comes out like new.
No dishwasher, soak in Milton to get rid of the staining. Good rinse after obviously.

Doesn't the dishwasher get full of debris?

I've got tomatoes and blackberries etc which I like to puree and sieve before freezing. But cleaning the sieve afterwards takes ages. There must be an easy way!
Any ideas?
