DESIGN
The PURE press cloths are designed for hydraulic pressing and
especially to filter juice but not allow pulp through. Our PURE
LSHP (low-stick high-porosity) press cloths are custom woven to
our specification from food-grade yarn. With proper cleaning, the
nylon LSHP material outlasts traditional polyester filter material
by 3-6x. This is possible because the material allows the free
flow of juice without clogging. The LSHP cloth can also be used
many more times between cleaning cycles than the traditional
press cloth and has been approved for the Gerson Therapy by the
Gerson Institute.
CLEANING
PURE press cloth require a thorough weekly cleaning. They may be
soaked to dissolve the organic bonds and restore the cloth to like-
new performance. The best ways to dissolve organic bonds are
bleach (most eective) or hydrogen peroxide (H
2
O
). Bleach does
the best job but is not always an option. Mix a 3-6% solution and
soak the cloths overnight then rinse thoroughly. If not satisfied,
increase the solution strength and repeat. Note: some staining is
normal. The best way to ‘bleach’ the cloth is to let the sun do it
the old fashioned way – by line drying. The UV rays of the sun are
the best whiteners available.
The press cloth will remain functional if properly cleaned and
sanitized for months or even years. Discoloration is normal.
Discard the cloth when heavily discolored or when it is no longer
functioning properly. Yields will decrease significantly with a cloth
that is ready to be replaced.
STORAGE
Rinse when done, fold in thirds in both directions, press out the
water, place in a plastic bag and freeze; do not refrigerate. Thaw
when ready to re-use.
