Would carrot juice stain the plastic over time? Thanks

I find vinegar, dish soap and hot faucet water left to soak in the pitcher will remove most stains. Lightly scrubb before discarding the mix.

I have put carrot juice in it, and it has not stained it. However, I don't store carrot juice in it. Rather, I put the carrot juice in single servings in jelly canning jars so it doesn't oxidize or spoil because of air getting to it. So this container has been a container that while I am juicing the carrot juice goes into it but does not stay in it for very long.

I don't recommend using for anything other than water. Once I used it for watermelon juice and the plastic was stained a light reddish for a long time and the taste lingered even after I had washed it very well many times. My advice: use this one only for water and get a glass bottle for other drinks

Does the silicone lid stain? YES. Hold old flavors? YES -- and the flavor of the silicone.

It seemed OK with stains, but acidic drinks like lemonade actually began to etch the plastic. For example, I used lemonade then added berries. No stains, just an etching at the line where it was filled to.

Nope. No plastic smell. Like others have already answered. Very easy to clean, I just throw them in the dishwasher. My 1 yr old and 6 yr old love their homemade apple juice push pops!!

I suppose it depends on what you use it for and how you use it. It is not "stain proof" and it is plastic. However, mine still looks great; after lots of use, it's not stained and it is not dirty looking. It is a decent product.

No. the plastic is soft and will most likely get stained from the face paint.

I've had no issues with either and thinking about it, I haven't been trying to prevent it. I juice up the fruit then rinse the pulp off of everything and stick it in the dishwasher wet until I run the dishes. I've had no mold or rust and I've used it heavily for about 5 months.

Hi Richard, the Omega 8007 does include a 15 year warranty when purchased from an authorized retailer. The only color juicers that we've seen with staining issues are those that are white. Beets and carrots will over time cause some discoloration on white juicers (though not all). We have yet to see any discoloration on silver, black or chrome juicers to date. Please let us know if you have any other questions. Thanks Harvest Essentials

No, that is the biggest drawback. it takes me about 10 minutes of scrubbing with soap and water. the screen is the worst to get all the fine bits of pulp out of. even after all that (owned for about a year) it is getting a brown color on the clear juicer housing that I can't scrub off. Having researched other types that are somewhat easier to clean I still come back to this type because it makes great juice. I'm addicted to my morning juice.

Nope, I had shredded carrots on plates in fridge. Had beets on the plate. No stain residue.

I've had an open jug, about half full, on the shelf (in a dark room) for about 2 years now and it is still fine. I use it periodically and no sign of deterioration, mold, or discoloration of any kind. We do live in a dry climate (I don't know if this makes a difference). Just make sure to pour off a portion into a separate container before dipping cloths into it etc (so the original bottle does not get contaminated). And close it well right after pouring off what you need. I've used it extensively on solid maple, and on a few teak items also. Excellent results every time. And no chemical reaction for me! :) I've had an open jug, about half full, on the shelf (in a dark room) for about 2 years now and it is still fine.

In my experience, yes! I clean mine for daily use. So far, nothing has stained it.

This is just like any clear soapy liquid. If you get it on something, it won't stain if you clean it within a reasonable amount of time. If left for weeks or months, it may eventually turn brownish.

Never had the problem but I did find something on the internet that might be of help: One way to get those pesky stains out is to first fill your pitcher with hot water. Then add two tablespoons of dry or liquid dishwasher detergent. (This is not to be confused with dish washing soap!) Let this mixture sit in the pitcher for about 15 minutes. Afterward, rinse the pitcher and the stains should lift right off the plastic. If your stain still lingers, repeat the process again.

I have used Orange and lemon oil in this and haven't seen any problems, but I would be careful using Cinnamon or cloves in anything plastic.
