How to Clean a Hurom Slow Juicer in Under 2 Minutes

If you clean your Hurom immediately after juicing, it takes under two minutes. That is the single most important thing to know about cleaning a Hurom slow juicer. Everything else follows from that.

Why Timing Is Everything

Fresh juice pulp rinses off Hurom parts easily under running water. Dried pulp requires scrubbing and soaking. The difference between a two-minute clean and a ten-minute clean is almost entirely whether you disassemble and rinse while the machine is still wet from juicing.

This is not a design limitation — it is true of all juicers. But Hurom's Easy Series was specifically engineered to make the immediate clean as fast as possible, with a strainer-free or two-part auger design that minimises the number of surfaces that collect pulp.

Step-by-Step: Cleaning Your Hurom in Under 2 Minutes

Step 1 — Pour your juice. Then immediately disassemble.

The moment your juice is in the glass, remove the drum, auger, strainer (if applicable), and cap. Do not walk away and come back. Disassembly takes 20 seconds while everything is still wet.

Step 2 — Rinse each part under running water.

Hold each component under the tap and rub gently with your fingers. The pulp comes away easily while it is still wet. You do not need soap for a daily rinse — water is sufficient. Work through the drum, auger, and cap in sequence. Total time: 60 to 90 seconds.

Step 3 — Use the cleaning brush on the strainer mesh.

If your model has a separate strainer, use the included two-sided cleaning brush under running water for 10 to 15 seconds. Light brushing — no scrubbing required. The H310A and H400 use strainer-free chamber designs that largely eliminate this step.

Step 4 — Leave to air dry.

Place parts on a dish rack and leave to air dry. You do not need to wipe or hand-dry. Done.

The One Tip That Makes It Even Easier

Before you start juicing, fill a small bowl or your kitchen sink with water and leave it beside the machine. When you finish juicing, drop all the disassembled parts straight into the water. Even if you cannot clean immediately — if breakfast is ready or someone needs you — soaking for 5 minutes keeps everything easy to rinse. This is the single habit that prevents the dried-pulp problem entirely.

Weekly Deep Clean

Once a week, add a small amount of dish soap to your rinse and give each part a thorough clean. Pay attention to the auger's spiral grooves and any small gaps in the drum cap where pulp can accumulate over several days of use. A weekly deep clean with soap takes 3 to 4 minutes and keeps your machine in peak condition.

What Not to Do

Do not put Hurom parts in the dishwasher. The high heat and harsh detergents in dishwashers degrade the BPA-free Tritan plastic and the auger material over time. All Hurom parts should be hand-washed.

Do not use abrasive scrubbers or steel wool. They scratch the clear drum and strainer surfaces, which can create areas where pulp accumulates more easily over time.

Do not leave pulp to dry.) This is the cause of 90% of difficult cleaning experiences with slow juicers. A Hurom that is cleaned immediately is a genuinely easy machine to maintain. A Hurom left uncleaned for an hour becomes a 10-minute job.

Cleaning by Model

The Hurom H310A uses a strainer-free embedded chamber with a two-part auger. This design has the fewest parts to clean and is the fastest model in the range to wash. Rinse the drum and two-part auger — that is essentially the full cleaning process.

The Hurom H400 and H410 use an Easy Clean chamber set with a two-part auger that meshes together to strain juice. Individual parts detach completely. Rinse each piece under running water — no scrubbing required on any surface.

If Your Juicer Has Not Been Cleaned for a While

If you have left pulp to dry inside the machine, soak all parts in warm water with a small amount of dish soap for 10 to 15 minutes before cleaning. This re-hydrates the dried pulp and makes it removable without force. Do not use hot water — warm is sufficient and safer for the plastic components.

After soaking, follow the standard cleaning steps. The machine will be clean and ready to use again, and now you have the timing habit to prevent it from happening again.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can Hurom juicer parts go in the dishwasher?

No. Hurom parts should be hand-washed only. Dishwasher heat and detergents degrade the BPA-free Tritan plastic and can damage the auger over time. All parts are designed for easy hand-washing under running water in under two minutes.

How do I remove dried pulp from my Hurom?

Soak the affected parts in warm water with a small amount of dish soap for 10 to 15 minutes. The dried pulp will re-hydrate and can then be rinsed away under running water with light finger rubbing. Avoid scrubbing with abrasive materials.

How often should I deep clean my Hurom juicer?

A thorough clean with dish soap once a week is sufficient for daily juicers. For the daily rinse, water alone immediately after juicing is enough to keep all parts clean and hygienic.

Why does my Hurom smell after cleaning?

A smell after cleaning usually means small amounts of pulp are remaining in the auger grooves or drum. Try a weekly deep clean with dish soap and the included cleaning brush, paying extra attention to the spiral grooves of the auger. If the smell persists, soak parts in a diluted white vinegar solution (1 part vinegar to 4 parts water) for 15 minutes, then rinse thoroughly.

How long does it take to clean the Hurom H410?

Under two minutes if cleaned immediately after juicing. The H410 uses a two-part auger that detaches fully, with no strainer to scrub. Rinse each piece under running water and leave to air dry. The cleaning process is the same for the H310A and H400.
