Is it troublesome to clean a juicer? What are some tips

Cleaning a juicer can be a bit troublesome, but by mastering some small tips, it can be much easier. Here are the cleaning methods and general tips for different types of juicers:

Centrifugal juicer

Filter screen cleaning The filter screen of a centrifugal juicer is prone to accumulate a lot of fine fruit residue. When cleaning, you can first remove the filter screen, place it under a faucet and rinse it with running water to wash off most of the surface residue. Then, soak it in warm water with an appropriate amount of detergent for about 10 to 15 minutes, and gently scrub it with a soft-bristled brush. This way, the remaining fruit residue in the mesh holes can be thoroughly cleaned. Finally, rinse it clean with clear water.

Cleaning of the blade and cup body: For the blade part, first rinse off the large pieces of fruit residue adhering to it with running water. Then, wipe it with a damp cloth or soft sponge dipped in detergent water. Be careful when wiping to avoid cutting your fingers. The cleaning of the cup body is relatively simple. Just clean it with detergent water and then rinse it thoroughly with clean water.

Slow juicers and juicers

Cleaning of spiral extrusion components The screw extrusion component of this type of juicer is prone to retaining fruit pulp fibers. After use, it should be disassembled and cleaned as soon as possible. First, rinse off the visible fruit residue on the surface with water. Then, soak it in warm water and add an appropriate amount of white vinegar. White vinegar can help soften and decompose the remaining fruit pulp. After soaking for 15 to 20 minutes, rinse it with clean water and gently brush off the remaining fibers with a soft-bristled brush. Finally, wipe it once with a clean damp cloth to ensure there is no residue.

Cleaning of other components: For the juice outlet, feed inlet and cup body, etc., first rinse off the fruit residue with running water, then wipe with a damp cloth dipped in detergent, and rinse thoroughly with clean water. For some crevices, you can use a cotton swab dipped in water to clean up the remaining small residue.

General cleaning tips

Timely cleaning: After the juicing process is completed, clean the machine parts as soon as possible while the fruit residue is still not dry. This makes it easier to rinse off the residue and significantly reduces the difficulty of cleaning.

Use tools for assistance: You can prepare some small brushes specifically designed for cleaning the juicer, such as those slender soft-bristled brushes, which are convenient for reaching into crevices, mesh holes and other places to clean up the fruit residue. Disposable cleaning wipes can also be used. They are very convenient for wiping the exterior of the machine, the cup body and other parts. Just throw them away after use and there is no need to clean the wiping tools again.

The wonderful uses of white vinegar or baking soda: As mentioned earlier, when cleaning, an appropriate amount of white vinegar can soften the fruit residue and remove odors, while baking soda has a strong decontamination ability. Adding some baking soda when soaking the parts can more effectively clean stubborn stains and make the juicer cleaner.

Regular deep cleaning In addition to the simple cleaning after daily use, a deep cleaning of the juicer can be carried out at regular intervals (such as once a week or twice a week). Disassemble all the detachable parts, carefully clean them with warm water, detergent, white vinegar or baking soda, etc., and then dry them before reassembling. This helps to extend the service life of the juicer and also ensures the hygiene and taste of each juicer.
