To get rid of carrot stains etc, the best cleaning agents that have worked for me so far are baking soda, lemon juice, and/or vinegar . A paper towel and small dish brush both work really well in aiding to get off build-up. HTH!

We use our juicer every day. After juicing I rinse it immediately and then wash it within the hour, but it still has a gross build-up of brown stuff. Especially on the blade basket. I’ve tried soaking it in heavily concentrated bleach water for hours, but it doesn’t help.

Scratching it off with a knife works, but this is time consuming and I also can’t get into all the crevices.

Is there some other cleaning aid I can soak it in that will lift the dirt?

Oil didn’t do much, just made a mess, but the bleach worked. Thank you.

There are a couple of different ways to tackle carrot stains in particular.

1. Moisten a paper towel or soft cloth with vegetable oil (any type of oil will work). Then, gently rub the stains away. Paper towels work nicely because they can be folded and twisted to fit into tight areas.

2. Mix one part bleach with one part water. Place the stained area in the solution and allow it to soak for at least an hour, several hours is even better. Wash thoroughly before use. If the area is on the base or other part that cannot be submersed, simply moisten a paper towel with the mixture and lay it on top of the stain.

This wasn’t really helpful to me, as this is what I do daily. My problem is more of a stain that doesn’t come out, I believe it is from juicing carrots.
