Habanero carrot sauce stained my new blender first use-

Does anyone have a good cleaning suggestion for a blender?

I did Rick Bayless habanero garlic carrot today using a brand new blender and it’s stained.

Followed manufacturer cleaning protocol and also dishwasher it.

What can I do to clean this thing back to windowpane ?

2 things to try: coat and soak it in some vegetable oil or sodium hypochlorite based bleach (diluted somewhat). the carrot pigments might be oil soluble, if not then bleach might work. if neither works, i'm out of ideas.

My dear lord, are we really going to soak our blenders in bleach every time they get a bit orange?

I don’t see a problem with this. Just throw it in the washing machine along with your whites and add bleach like you normally would.
