What is the best way to remove the wax that is on the lemon from the squeezer?

Pour some boiling water through the squeezer into the sink drain and wipe the inside of the squeezer with a paper towel. -William F.

I washed the squeezer with normal dish detergent and a blue Scotchbtite scrubber - no problem. I also lightly scrub lemons and limes before I squeeze them, which may reduce the commercial wax, and brings out the natural oils.

Needle nose or even regular pliers. When unplugged. Grab by one ode of the white ends lift up and pull out.

No, you would need to cut the lemon into pieces, you are better off squeezing by hand or getting a traditional juicer stick.

Fill a bowl with rubbing alcohol. Take the glass pieces apart and submerge. Soak. This should help. Some thicker oils are harder to clean. I run lemon through mine after a clean.

Take out the heating element..and wipe off with a paper towel..set aside. What I do next is line a fine strainer with cheesecloth. Remove the entire "tub" of oil from the fryer..be careful, the rims are sort of sharp. I use a canning funnel and mason jars...so just put the funnel in the jar...place the cheesecloth lined strainer in the funnel and slowly pour the oil....the big funnel fits perfectly in any Manson jar and the strainer filters your oil. When done, I put the "tub" in the dishwasher with all the other stuff I used. I store the oil in the fridge. I can get 3-4 uses before dumping the oil and starting again with fresh.

I use a battery operated tea light, as there is no wax involved and you can easily remove the item. Also, very safe.

warm up the lemon in the microwave, if you have one, for 20-40 seconds depending on size of lemon. It makes it so much easier to squeeze.

If you let pulp dry on the squeezer, you can remove it with just water and elbow grease, but also using a scrubbing pad will be faster. If it scratches, so what? That will not degrade its functionality. And if you purchase one of the pretty enameled squeezers, the enamel will eventually start flaking off into your juice. Print I have had two, from different sources, and both fell apart that way.)

I found using Goof off does a really good job and doesn't damage the cup. You might also try polish remover, too.

Use lighter fluid, polish remover will stain the cup. You will be amazed how easy it comes off!

you'll want to use the plastic hand/foot bags....make less mess and easily pulls wax off by grabbing plastic above wax and pulling down, removing the wax. The terry-cloth hand/foot mits are a nice option...not necessary. Love, love, love it! you will, too!

I haven't had to clean mine yet. I was just looking at it to see how hard it looks to clean. I think that once the wax gets a little lower I will just remove the wax when it is semi-hard. I think it will peel away from the plastic easily. I had spilled some wax on the sides before and it peeled right off the sides.

Super Easy. Take off the porcelain cover, lift the top off the container where the water and oils are put and rinse out. When changing oils I will also take a cotton ball with rubbing alcohol and wipe the inside container. The plug that is attached is removable from the base too so all I take is the inside unit to be cleaned out.

The next time you get it off, and before resealing it, you should always use a little bit of Vaseline to lube the threads of the housing. If you do that, the next time you remove it, it will be much easier. A tiny amount of Vaseline also helps seat the O-ring properly. Vinegar and a warm water soak is also recommended for your first removal. I have not tried that, but it is in the instructions and makes a lot of sense.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KaY27kddFzQ Just push the "side metal part" that runs the length of nutcracker in and pop top part off. Then push "bottom part" of side length metal part in and pop out. Watch video...easy peasy lemon squeeze!!!!!

It SHOULD work perfectly fine. There is a suggested hydrogen peroxide solution that the instructions tell you to us. Use this solution and it should remove the wax just fine.

The wax sets hard and then you pull it off without the strips. It is easy, you just leave a little blob or lip at the end and lift.
