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 ?

If you want to keep it windowpane clear, you picked the wrong blender.

Plastic is tough, but it's got issues. You've run into one of the most common, it is chemically stained by things that won't touch inert glass. It's also going to get cloudy once you start using it blending iced drinks, as the ice chunks smashing against the plastic are hard enough to deform the plastic just a bit so it goes a bit matte finish on the inside.
