How to do it

Time
6 min
Water
Lukewarm, 35 °C at most – never hot

Lukewarm water, one drop of mild dish soap. Rinse and air-dry.

With these answers we do not recommend the ultrasonic cleaner, so there is no how-to.

Pick your cleaner to see if it fits, which setting to use and what its manual says.

Why

Mouthguards are usually EVA plastic that is shaped with heat. That is why the water should only be lukewarm, otherwise the fit can change.

Watch out for

  • Never hot water
  • Replace the guard if it has holes or cracks
