The response to the original topic/question/inquiry did not address the issue. 100's of thousands of people using juicers and we're the only ones experiencing this? I would agree it might have something to do with carrots, maybe something acidic (?) that leaves a milky-white film on parts. Like all of you I too wash and clean immediately after use, but cannot imagine using any chemical (i.e., bleach) to assist in removing that film. I also wouldn't recommend any abrasive tools like metal. That could scratch surfaces making cleaning even more of a challenge. Maybe lemon juice neutralizes the stain, but I just scrub mine vigorously as best I can and accept the milky-white film. Looks pretty ugly, but I use my juicer all the time so I don't worry much about any bacteria buildup. I agree with Rachel.

A paper towel and small dish brush both work really well in aiding to get off build-up.

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? We use our juicer every day.

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

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

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.

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