How do I clean the Fresh Juice Blender?
Answer: The fastest method is the 20-second self-clean cycle. Fill the cup halfway with warm water, add one drop of dish soap, attach the base, run one blending cycle, rinse, and air-dry. That handles 95% of daily cleaning. For deep cleans do it once a week with a soft brush on the blade module.
The detailed answer
Fresh smoothie residue dries fast and gets sticky, so the golden rule is: clean the blender within 10 minutes of using it. That is when food is still soft and rinses out effortlessly. Wait an hour and you will need to scrub.
Daily clean (20 seconds). Step one: rinse out the last drops of smoothie. Step two: fill the cup to the halfway line with warm water (not hot, see our hot liquids guide). Step three: add one drop (about 0.3 ml) of dishwashing liquid. Step four: attach the blade module and motor base, invert so the blades sit in the water, and press the button for one full 20-second cycle. The centrifugal flow scrubs every interior surface. Step five: unscrew, rinse with clean water, shake dry, and leave upside down on a drying rack.
Weekly deep clean (5 minutes). Unscrew the blade module from the cup. Rinse the blade module under running water, using a soft bristled brush (an old toothbrush works perfectly) to clean between the blades and around the gasket. Never use steel wool or abrasive sponges, they will scratch the stainless finish. Wipe the silicone gasket ring on the lid with a soapy cloth, rinse, and reseat. Wipe the motor base with a slightly damp microfiber cloth. Do not run water over the base or submerge it.
Monthly descale (if you have hard water). Mineral buildup from hard tap water can cloud the Tritan cup over time. Once a month, fill the cup with equal parts warm water and white vinegar, let it sit for 10 minutes, then run a 20-second self-clean cycle. Rinse twice. The cup will be crystal clear.
Smells. If the cup develops an odor (common with protein powder or leafy greens), fill halfway with water plus one teaspoon of baking soda, run the self-clean cycle, rinse, and air-dry overnight. Do not close the lid on a wet cup for storage, trapped moisture is where smells come from.
What never goes in water. The motor base. The USB-C port. The battery cell. Wipe only, never submerge. The unit is rated IPX4, which means it can survive splashes and spills but not immersion.

How do I clean the blade assembly?
Unscrew from the cup, rinse under running water immediately after use, and use a soft-bristled brush between the blades if needed. Do not put in a dishwasher.
What should I do if food dries inside the cup?
Fill with warm water and one drop of dish soap, let soak for 10 minutes, then run the self-clean cycle for 30 seconds instead of 20.
Can I use bleach to sanitize the Fresh Juice?
No. Bleach will degrade the silicone gasket and can pit the stainless blade finish. Use white vinegar or baking soda for deeper sanitizing.
