Appliances are made of various types of plastic. They are all porous and will pick up bacteria if not cleaned well on a daily basis. First scrub the appliance with a tooth brush, with or without toothpaste and rinse it off. Next, fill the storage case with water and place the appliance in with a tablet of Efferdent (denture cleaner). Leave it in the solution for no more than 10 minutes, then rinse it off and store it in the container with the lid open. It will build up less bacteria if it is dry.
IMPORTANT- some appliances can not be placed in efferdent and need other cleaning solutions, this will be noted on the container.
