Can i use dial antibacterial hand soap to clean my clear retainer?
3 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
You can use antibacterial dish soap or hand soap . Make sure it is clear to avoid discoloration of the denture . Other good choices are denture cleaner , white vinegar mixed 1:1with water and non alcoholic mouthwash .

Yes you can, but be gentle so as not to break the plastic. You may want to consider using denture cleaner instead. Ask your Orthodontist or General Dentist.
