Begin by disassembling the juicer into its individual components: the lid, pusher, pulp container, juicing bowl, sieve, and base.
2. Wash Removable Parts
Using warm water and mild dish soap, wash the lid, pusher, pulp container, juicing bowl, and sieve thoroughly. Rinse them well to remove any soap residue.
3. Clean the Sieve
For a deeper clean, use a small brush to gently remove any pulp or debris from the sieve. Rinse the sieve thoroughly to ensure all particles are removed.
4. Wipe Down the Base
Wipe down the base of the juicer with a damp cloth to remove any splashes or residue. Avoid immersing the base in water.

If stains persist on the juicing bowl or sieve, soak them in a solution of white vinegar and warm water for 15-30 minutes. Rinse thoroughly afterward.
6. Reassemble the Juicer
Once all parts are clean and dry, reassemble the juicer. Ensure all components are securely in place.
7. Store Properly
Store your Philips juicer in a clean, dry place. Avoid leaving it assembled for extended periods, as this can promote bacteria growth.
