Great update thanks. Maybe you can delete your oxi clean videos? As that stuff is very harmful. i got some on my skin and it took many days for it to heal. its hard to rinse off the juicer too. People see the old video with oxi clean but do not see that you no longer recommend it. peace
Thanks for the video. I tried it and it helped somewhat. My juicer had never been deep cleaned. So I added more citric acid and used very hot water and did a soak. I soaked it several times this way just by reheating the citric acid mix. I did scrub in between soaks until I got it clean. A suggestion I have, now after every time I juice I use a tsp of citric acid a drop of Dawn and very warm water and fill the juicer and let it spin for about 5 mins. No more mineral deposits! Rinse wirh water when finished.
I tried this method with my Omega upright juicer and it didn't work all that great. Definitely better, but still a lot of mineral buildup that didn't come off no matter how hard I scrubbed. . Edit: Ran through the whole process again, because it had been a while since I did a deep cleaning. Second time cleaned it beautifully!
I use equal parts of water and vinegar and use 1 tablespoon of banking soda for every quart (4 cups) of liquid. I let for at least 2 hours but like with John's method overnight is best.
Oh I also bring the water to a boil or close to it and add the baking soda to it. The baking soda dissolves better in the hot water. In a pinch I have also sprinkled a little baking soda on it and added straight vinegar and let it bubble for a while, but I don't recommend doing this every time because it is corrosive. I also use some dishwashing liquid after the soaking to make sure to remove any residue from the parts
I've recently added tumeric to my juice. It leaves a gummy residue both on the screen and auger that will not come out with citric acid, dish soap, or elbow grease. Something thing that works is Cafiza - I use it to clean my coffee maker. A teaspoon in a big bowl, soak, and then a good scrubbing. Thanks for what you've given the juicing community.
I use a combination of citric acid and baking soda to remove tea stains from my porcelain teaware. All that is needed is a soft sponge and leaves it looking like new.
You know Nama recommends to soak the juicer in equal parts citric acid and baking soda. I would like to know if it's more effective this way, or soaking in ONLY citric acid like you did in this video.
A small improvement. Add a few drops of olive oil to the appliance and spread it with a brush so that the surface is greasy. It acts as a lubricant, the juicer works more efficiently and gives more juice, the oil partially protects against condensation of dirt. Spray oil can also be used. It works perfectly on my centrifugal juicer.
@@rehab5355 I tried about 10 different cleaners from €5 to €10. And finally, I discovered a Czech-made cleaner at TESCO for €2 that can deal with sediment in 10 seconds. "LARRIN"
I have tried the vinegar baking soda salt none of these worked. I use now the oxy palmolive dish soap. I always soak all the parts after juicing for 2 hours and my juicer is shiny.
Thank you I love my nama juicer but now after three months of use it is getting covered in mineral deposits and i hope this can help me…. also when i first got my juicer it was very slippery almost oiled …. is there an oil i can rub on it?
Completely off topic, but is your best juicer sale in November? I purchased the gray tribest green star pro from you a couple year back, and it's so amazing I want to gift some for my siblings.
I have a green chrome like shine on my Nama J2 after juicing carrots. It’s a week old and I’ve been juicing celery and cucumber without issue or staining. Then today I made carrot juice with a little bit of ginger and now I see this green chrome like coating on all my pieces. Do you know what that is and how to get rid?
i have a nama2 and when i first got it, it seemed as if it had a slippery surface everything just fell off and it became so clean in an instant and after two months now it seems to have a gritty surface from all the juicing … i like this video but is there an oil or something to give it a slick surface once more? Thank you for my ten percent discount as well!!!!!
Thank you so much for this video, John. I also love my VSJ but have noticed that it does have some mineral buildup on the screen and have been concerned it's negatively affecting my juicing. I'm ordering some citric acid and will clean it this weekend.
Hello John, I just got a brand new juico juicer and I don't understand it's retaining all the pineapples they are not going down and no single pulp coming out I don't understand if I didn't assemble it well
Any advice keep carrot juice from staining the juicer that doesn't require soaking every time? It generally takes me about 30-45 minutes to make about 1L of carrot juice followed by 0.5L of celery juice which I immediately bottle airtight for refrigerator storage. It takes me another 15-30 minutes just trying to clean the parts, and even with hot water, dish soap, OxyClean, etc. it still doesn't get rid of all the staining in that time but I don't have all day to scrub nor do I want to soak overnight every time I juice. The white plastic part of the gears as well as the white plastic inside adjacent to the gears are the worst, and they immediately stain. I recently removed over 10 years of buildup soaking over 48 hours in Oxyclean per your last video which I just saw reading the comments you no longer recommend and after that and some additional scrubbing. But on the very next juicing session the orange staining is back which it seems over time is what turns into the brown gunk, so if I could avoid that, that would be great.
I'm gonna try the blender and nut milk bag procedure because cleaning the juicer is such a god awful process it has brought me nearly to tears every time
I love your videos! I have a question. Have you seen your auger look tinted green after juicing? I noticed this on the nama j2 and not sure why it looks greenish after washing
I just put some chlorine diluted with water in the jar and leave it for some hours and it becomes transparent again. No more greenish stain. Hope this helps.
I ditched my tribest slow juicer due to cleaning issues... It's impossible to prevent gunk & slime buildup with hot water, soap & scrubbing. I'll try a deep clean. I would spend 30 minutes cleaning the darn thing and it'd still make me sick.
your assumptions are somehow corrrect yet you have to work it both ways... you assume it is alcaline, I assume it is acidic so .... if alcaline you need the contra an acid yet if acidic (my position) you need a base to contraactuate so ... either lime, baking soda, etc ANY BASE is agains acid.

Ok but what did you do differently? Lol comment is from 2 years ago 😅 hope you see this!!!
I use a vinegar, water and baking soda solution and it works amazing as well.
What ratios?
I use equal parts of water and vinegar and use 1 tablespoon of banking soda for every quart (4 cups) of liquid. I let for at least 2 hours but like with John's method overnight is best.

Vinegar can be too aggressive, it can damage plastic and rubber parts. Citric acid is safe.
@@skaska4024 ya..
I know the juice acts like a lubricant but I like adding alittle bit of coconut oil on the rubber parts,it makes everything run smoother and quieter.
OMG genuinely shocked at how well this worked for me!!!

Would have loved to see you put more into cleaning the blender

Totally Had Me Laughing At Hippys And Such lol Nice non GMO Citric Acid Tip 🌱💚👍🏽
Thank you very much for your cleaning tips.
John great job, I will start using the citric acid. Thanks

Great idea...Thanks...I'll try anything to keep from having to clean this thing too often...Ha Ha

i WAS WAITING FOR THIS VIDEO!!!
I have a distiller which I clean with citric acid boil followed by a baking soda/vinegar solution to get the remaining residue off.
I have tried the vinegar baking soda salt none of these worked. I use now the oxy palmolive dish soap. I always soak all the parts after juicing for 2 hours and my juicer is shiny.
I use oxyclean from time to time. I've thought about trying an ultrasonic cleaner.
Thanks John!! I can't wait to try this. Can you talk about the calcium build up in the holes? I Love you Videos! You are Awesome!!!!
Yes!! My VRT350 HD needs a deep clean, gonna do this now. Thank you dude 👍
Funny I have that same juicer and blender as you. Feel like this video was meant for me
Thank you I love my nama juicer but now after three months of use it is getting covered in mineral deposits and i hope this can help me…. also when i first got my juicer it was very slippery almost oiled …. is there an oil i can rub on it?
Thank you I am surely going to try
This is recommended how often to use citric acid?
Completely off topic, but is your best juicer sale in November?

Can we use vinegar to clean the juicer?

Fast forward video to 2:15 if u here for the info to begin
Thank you!!❤❤❤
Thx. I’ll try

I just saw this on mine. It actually wipes off using a dry towel and rubbing it
Hi John, I’m just wondering why you have never incorporated ANGEL juicer as part of your juicer review.
Yes. John please do review on Angel Juicers. Thank you.
I use the citric acid to clean the water distiller pot. soak overnite, scrub and wash.
So sad my MM 1500 keeps backing up celery into the juicer it has GERD lol any ideas
Thank you for all of your amazing videos…❤️

Did it work?
Hello John, I just got a brand new juico juicer and I don't understand it's retaining all the pineapples they are not going down and no single pulp coming out I don't understand if I didn't assemble it well
Please contact the retailer that sold you the machine. I do not sell that brand.

Can any of these juicer parts be placed in the top rack of the dishwasher?
It totally depends on the juicer. Hurom - no. Omega - yes. Just follow the directions for you particular juicer.
I love your videos! I have a question. Have you seen your auger look tinted green after juicing? I noticed this on the nama j2 and not sure why it looks greenish after washing
I just put some chlorine diluted with water in the jar and leave it for some hours and it becomes transparent again. No more greenish stain. Hope this helps.
Thank you 🌿🕊️💚
John, what about the Oxyclean or the Cascade? Why did you switch to citric acid?
I no longer recommend oxyclean, it can degrade plastic. Cascade can be used, but it is not as "natural" as citric acid, but does clean a bit better.
God bless you.
Dental water flosser is the defacto cleaner.
Why citric acid and not vinegar ?

It's not great to scour stainless steel... it scratches the surface which releases chromium and nickel from the surface.
I'm still using vinegar. It's cheap and readily available.
