For proper juicing of leafy greens it is recommended that the leafy greens and vegetables be washed thoroughly with a ten minute soak in a bowl of cool water. The bowl of cool water allows the grit and debris of shipping and packing to be released from the vegetables.

Gritty green drinks are not desirable so leafy greens should additionally be washed separately and wiped down leaf by leaf. This ensures that any unwanted residues will be completely removed from the leafy green before use in the juicer. Waxy vegetables like cucumbers and zucchini should be washed thoroughly under water while being brushed with a soft bristled vegetable brush to remove debris.Fruits should also be washed and pitted, cored and seeded. Citric fruits should be peeled, but thin skinned fruits like apples and pears are recommended to be left with skins intact. Fruits and vegetables may be chopped into roughly one to two inch sections before being placed in the juicer. This allows the juicer to break down the vegetables and fruits faster.
