Deep cleaning small wares and blenders

Thankfully, our evenings seem to be slowing down now that the nearby Universities are out for the summer, with all schools shortly to follow, and so I'd like to get in some extra deep cleaning outside of clean play. All of our blender pitchers, steaming pitchers, plates, and small wares could use a good scouring, but do you have any tips? I saw a post from a barista that used Vertica Tabs to really clean out steaming pitchers and make sure they are super shiny. Thinking about trying to give everything a good hard soak and scrub, but would love to hear what other teams are doing for extra cleaning when it comes to our blenders, spoons, etc.
