How to Deep Clean Dentures Overnight (Step-by-Step Guide)

Introduction

Overnight soaking is the foundation of good denture hygiene — but not all overnight cleansers are the same. Here is the dentist-approved method to deep-clean dentures safely and effectively every night.

Step 1: Brush Your Mouth

Use: Cleanadent Paste
 Brush:

  • Gums

  • Tongue

  • Cheeks

  • Roof of mouth

This removes bacteria that could transfer back to your denture.

Step 2: Brush the Denture

Use: Cleanadent Paste + Ergonomic Brush
Avoid scrubbing too hard. Rinse thoroughly.

Step 3: Prepare the Soaking Solution

Option A (Recommended): Liquid Crystal Soak Cleanser

  • Most powerful

  • Removes biofilm

  • Eliminates stains

  • Kills bacteria & yeast

  • Safe for soft liners

Option B: Powder Crystal (Travel Option)

  • Packets are TSA-friendly

  • Perfect for hotel rooms

  • Same active ingredients

Step 4: Let Denture Soak Overnight

Minimum: 8 hours
 Why?

  • Soft liners need time to relax

  • Bacteria multiply faster if denture stays dry

  • Stain molecules dissolve better overnight

Step 5: Rinse Thoroughly in Morning

Before inserting, rinse under warm water.

Optional: Ultrasonic Deep-Clean Boost

Use once per week: Ultrasonic Cleaner + Liquid Crystal
 This removes stubborn buildup brushing can’t touch.

Conclusion

Overnight soaking is the most important cleaning step denture wearers can take. With Liquid Crystal or Powder Crystal, you get a deep clean that protects your mouth, your denture, and your confidence.
