How to clean my juicer

(1/1)

xianzai:
Does anyone have any suggestions for a generally safe substance to use to clean my juicer. It is an Angel 5500 and the parts are stainless steel.
I juice carrots everyday and the tiny holes in the screen get blocked tafter awhile and the grinding gears eventually get coated by some sort of white substance which I think is calcium.  There are many small crevices in the parts where things build up.
I have previously used bleach but it eats the material after awhile.  I tried citric acid and it didn't work at all.  Lemon juice doesn't work.
I currently use denture tablets which work but not as well as I would like.  They are also expensive and take a long time, basically a day.
Is there a substance which will clean the screen and gears in a reasonable time very well?

Thanks

Arkcon:
I like the denture cleaning tablets best.  You probably need the bubble pressure to drive out clogs.  I can't think of a stronger household chemical, that safe to use, that will give better results.

billnotgatez:
vinegar and baking soda ??

Corribus:
White vinegar would be my first try. If it really is calcium buildup, you may have to let it sit for a while.
