Denture cleaners work well for removing bacteria from retainers. They usually come in a pill to mix and dissolve in warm water. Denture cleaners are safe and effective for cleaning retainers, but they may cause discoloration and leave a bad taste on the retainer over time. Denture cleaners should be used twice a week for best results. Fill a dish with warm water and add a denture cleaner. The retainer should be rinsed before placing it in the solution, where it should soak for about twenty minutes. Gently scrub with a soft-bristled toothbrush after removing it from the solution.
