What is the proper way to clean the retainer?

Using a fizzing denture cleaner seems to be the best way I have found to clean them.

We just rinse it out with soap and water. Hydrogen peroxide works on many oral products, but I'm not sure if it will damage the plastic. I'm sure mouthwash (i.e. Listerine) would work, too.

I usually rinse it with warm water( not too hot or it will warp), or if I find that it is very dirty, I use a tiny bit of dish soap to clean it.

I always put a little alcohol on a paper towel and wipe the denture inside after I have washed it. The Cushon Grip definitely adheres better when this is done.

I use a toothbrush, hot water, and if necessary a little soap, and rinse well. Both ends come off on mine.

Rinse mouth completely with Crest Pro Health or similar wash then gently glide a paper towel or soft bristle toothbrush over gums. It works well for me.

I don't have a dishwasher so I usually use scotchbrite on the underside of the blade. A stiff cleaning brush from back to front should work well also.

I clean mine semi-regularly FIRST by washing out with Dawn dishwashing soap & hot water, rinsing, THEN filling it with very hot water plus two denture cleaning tablets. I leave it fizzing for a couple of hours (or overnight), then rinse it well. This works well with all my thermal mugs, water bottles (glass, metal, ceramic, etc). I also soak the lids in the solution.

I clean it with mild dish soap and water. Polish using Bar magic soft scrub polish. Once every few weeks. Mine is in excellent condition.

I've had it a little less than a year, and it's still working great. You can have it for a long time as long as you clean it after each use. I use a toothbrush with a bit of dish washing liquid. Let it dry before putting it away. You're good to go until the next time.

Wipe it down with a used fabric softener sheet. Gets rid of any soap scum, water deposits, etc. Probably easier on the surface than toothpaste too.

It was a gift for a friend's son and I told them to do what I do with my thermos. Go to the store and purchase some inexpensive denture cleaning tablets. Throw a couple in the bottle over night filled with water, then wash with warm water and soap the next day. You could also use a drop of bleach in water. I keep a baby bottle/glass brush on hand if I have something like juice which is sticky and I want to be a bit more thorough. If you feel there is an after taste issue, you can also soak over night once a week with a teaspoon of baking soda in it. Several options for you, I hope that help.

Soak it for 5 minutes in a cup of warm water with a polident tablet. A quick scrub with a denture brush removes all of the Secure easily!

I usually just breathe on it and then polish it of with a towel. Works great! If the kids were using it with jelly fingers *sigh* I use a damp cloth to clean it off (without any cleaner or soap).

Denture cleaner works wonders too. Add 4 or 5 tablets fill with water, let sit for several hours and clean with a bottle brush then rinse. You will be amazed at the black crud that comes out.

I would use a nylon spatula and sponge with a little soap and gently rub it out. Clean it after each use carefully as mentioned after turning it off for about ten mins.

there's a better (and cheaper way) to clean your thermos. Use a denture cleanser. Fill the thermos, drop a denture cleaner table in the filled thermos and wait 8 hours. Works like a dream

Yes, you can clean it with soap and water. You can sterilize it as well. (But who really has a sterilizer in there home. Lol) For me I just simply rinse it under warm water after each use. Periodically I'll soak it in a sandwich bag with Listerine inside. It helps to keep the tounge scraper in sum kind of case or plastic bag. Hence sandwich bag, freezer bag, zip lock bag. Whatever you have. Hope this info is helpful.

To clean it I did the same, soaking in vinegar but I took a toothbrush and scrubbed the inside because it had developed calcium really bad. Now it's as good as new. I will probably have to do that again shortly but it wasn't too hard to do
