1. First prepare half a basin of water and an old toothbrush.

2. Put in the crabs to be cleaned. Don’t worry about the crabs running around, they will get into the water. Some crabs will run out, just catch them or drive them into the water, and they will be quiet for a while. It can be cleaned after soaking for about ten minutes.

3. Grasp both sides of the crab and use a toothbrush to clean the back, abdomen and mouth vigorously.

4. Then clean the sides of the crab and the roots of its feet and claws.

5. This is the most critical step. Don’t be timid. Grasp the pair of pliers (use the toothbrush handle to lift the joints of the pair of pliers from bottom to top, and use the thumb and index finger of the crab to grasp the crab claws upward along the base of the claws. For some fierce crabs, you can press down on the claws a few times or Beat it a few times) open the abdominal cover and squeeze out the excrement from the inside out.

6. Clean the dirt and claws in the abdominal cover of the crab, so that the crab is completely cleaned.

7. Put the cleaned crabs into a pot with more than half of the water. (If you don’t put water, the crabs will run around.) After washing them all, fill them with water and soak them for about ten minutes before rinsing. Rinse away the dirty water brought in when washing crabs.
