How to Clean Dentures With Soft Liners (Safe, Gentle Method)

Introduction

Soft liners make dentures more comfortable — but they are very delicate. Many cleaning products damage them, dry them out, or cause the material to peel.

This guide shows the safe, gentle method dentists recommend for cleaning soft-lined dentures.

Why Soft Liners Need Special Cleaning

Soft liners:

  • Are porous

  • Absorb liquids

  • Tear easily

  • Cannot withstand abrasion

  • Are chemically sensitive

This means:
 ❌ No toothpaste
 ❌ No bleach
 ❌ No tablets
❌ No harsh brushes

How to Clean Soft Liners Properly

1. Brush Very Gently

Use: Cleanadent Paste
Avoid pressure — use light strokes.

2. Clean Your Mouth Separately

Brush gums, tongue, and cheeks with Cleanadent Paste.

3. Soak Nightly in Liquid Crystal

Liquid Crystal is the only cleanser safe for all types of soft liners.
It disinfects without damaging the cushion.

4. Rinse Well Before Wearing

Rinse under warm running water.

5. Use Wipes During the Day

Cleanadent Wipes remove debris without scrubbing.

Soft Liner Cleaning Mistakes to Avoid

  • Toothpaste (abrasive)

  • Denture tablets (chemical damage)

  • Vinegar or peroxide (harsh acids)

  • Alcohol mouthwash (drying)

  • Hot water (warps liner)

Conclusion

Soft liners require gentle care — but it’s easy with the right products. Cleanadent Paste and Liquid Crystal give you a safe, reliable system for daily and overnight care.
