How to Clean Juicer Parts

Tools:

- E-Cloth
- Dish soap
- Soft brush or old toothbrush
- Clean towel
- Sink (for soaking and rinsing)

Disassemble and Inspect

Disconnect the juicer from the power source.
Remove all detachable parts such as the pulp container, strainer, and chute.
Check each part for any visible buildup or residue.

Pre-Soak the Parts

Fill your sink with warm water and add a squirt of dish soap.
Submerge all the removable parts, letting them soak for 5-10 minutes to loosen stuck-on debris.

Scrub with a Brush

Use a soft brush or an old toothbrush to gently scrub each piece.
Focus on crevices, mesh screens, and any areas where pulp might be trapped.

Rinse Thoroughly

Rinse every part under running water to remove all soap and loosened particles.
Ensure no soap residue remains, especially in the fine screens or grooves.

Dry Completely

Lay the parts out on a clean towel or dish rack to air-dry fully.
Make sure each component is completely dry before reassembling to prevent any moisture-related issues.

Precautions:

Safety Precaution

Disconnect the juicer from power: Always unplug before disassembling to prevent any risk of electric shock.
Avoid water near electrical components: Keep moisture away from parts that interact with the motor or wiring.

Handling Precaution

Follow manufacturer instructions: Consult the manual before disassembling any parts to avoid causing damage.
Be cautious with sharp components: Some parts may have blades or edges; handle them carefully to prevent injury.

Cleaning Precaution

Avoid harsh chemicals: Use only cleaning agents recommended by the manufacturer to prevent degradation of materials.
Do not soak sensitive parts: Certain components like rubber seals or plastic housings might warp if immersed in water for too long.
Test cleaning solutions: Before applying a cleaning solution, test on a small area to ensure there is no discoloration or damage.

Post-Cleaning Precaution

Dry thoroughly: Ensure all parts are completely dry before reassembling to prevent mold growth and electrical risks.
Inspect for damage: Check components for any signs of wear or deterioration before reassembling to ensure safe operation.

Common Mistakes When Cleaning Juicer Parts

Not Properly Disassembling Parts

Failing to remove all detachable components can trap pulp and juice, making them harder to clean later.
Neglecting to consult the manual can lead to parts being reassembled incorrectly, which could affect performance.
Always take time to disassemble fully and inspect each part for hidden residue.

Using Harsh Chemicals or Improper Cleaning Agents

Using abrasive cleaners or bleach on juicer parts may deteriorate plastic components over time.
Some chemicals can leave behind residues or affect the taste of future juices.
Opt for mild soap and warm water, or cleaners specifically recommended by the manufacturer.

Forgetting these areas can lead to mold growth or unpleasant odors.
Use a small brush or an old toothbrush to reach these hidden spots effectively.
