Cleaning Minerals
ClearRetain Cleaning Minerals is a mint-flavored, oxygen-powered powdered cleaning agent packaged in a 10.58 oz (300 g) bottle, formulated with sodium bicarbonate, sodium percarbonate, mint (mentha arvensis) oil, sodium lauryl sulphate, sodium saccharin and potassium iodide. It is used to clean dental appliances including retainers, night guards, trays and aligners, with a recommended soak of 3 minutes (or 10 to 15 minutes for a deeper clean) using half a capful of powder per half cup of water. The label states it removes 99.999% of bacteria and that a bottle provides up to 120 uses, or roughly a four-month supply at one cleaning per day; the formula is free of harsh chemicals and does not require rinsing before the device is placed back in the mouth.

Product Insights
Cleaning Minerals is a fast, high-efficacy retainer soak that kills 99.999% of bacteria in three minutes with no rinse, doubling the speed and cutting the cost per use compared to tablet soaks, while softening hard water to prevent mineral haze; its six-ingredient formula mirrors EverSmile AllClean Minerals and works across retainers, dentures, guards, and metal-wire Hawleys, but users must stick to warm-water soaks of 3–15 minutes because hot or overnight soaking can warp or cloud plastic, and the SLS and mint oil content can irritate sensitive mouths, so sensitive users should rinse afterward.
Verified claims
- Sanitization
- Soak removes 99.999% of bacteria — one log stronger than Retainer Brite's 99.99% claim.
- Soak routine
- Use warm—not hot—water for 3–15 minute soaks; hot water or overnight soaking can warp or cloud the plastic.
- Formula
- Identical to EverSmile AllClean Minerals: bicarbonate, percarbonate, mint oil, SLS, saccharin, potassium iodide.
- Cleaning performance
- 3-minute soak kills 99.999% of bacteria and needs no rinse.
- Device compatibility
- Same formula EverSmile markets for dentures, partials, snoring devices and mouth guards too.
- Sensitivity
- Contains sodium lauryl sulphate and mint oil, both potential irritants for sensitive mouths.
- Cost per use
- At the $13.47 sale price, the 120-use jar costs about $0.11 per soak — half Retainer Brite's $0.20 tablet.
- Cleaning time
- Each soak takes 3 minutes and needs no rinse; the leading tablet soak takes 15 minutes plus rinse.
- Bacterial kill
- Labeled to kill 99.999% of bacteria, one log stronger than Retainer Brite's 99.99%.
- Soak time
- A 3-minute daily soak saves 12 minutes per clean vs a 15-minute tablet soak
- No-rinse
- The no-rinse percarbonate soak clears 99.999% of bacteria and leaves no detergent film.
- Care instructions
- Warm 3–15 minute soaks are generally safe for plastic and metal while hot or overnight soaking risks clouding or warping.
- Sensitive mouths
- Sensitive-mouth users are advised to rinse after a 3-minute soak; SLS and mint oil are potential irritants.
- Mineral haze prevention
- Softens hard water in the soak and skips the rinse that redeposits mineral haze
- Appliance compatibility
- One six-ingredient formula cleans retainers, aligners, guards, dentures, and metal-wire Hawleys
- Bacteria kill
- Soak kills 99.999% of bacteria — a full log stronger than Retainer Brite's 99.99% claim.
- Soak protocol
- 3-minute daily soak, 10–15 minutes for tough stains; overnight soaking risks clouding plastic.
- Sensitive-mouth irritants
- Contains SLS and mint oil, both known potential irritants; sensitive users should rinse after soaking.
- Heavy stain results
- Old coffee or tobacco stains brighten noticeably after 10–15 minutes, but may not fully clear.
- Soak instructions
- Warm water for 3 minutes daily, 10–15 minutes for heavy stains; hot water warps plastic.
- Sanitizing and odor
- Same soak kills 99.999% of bacteria and neutralizes odor — a log above tablet cleaners.
- Metal-wire retainers
- Short 3–15 minute soaks are generally safe for Hawley retainers with metal wires, followed by a rinse.
- Soak safety
- Warm-water 3–15 minute soaks won't warp retainer plastic; hot water and overnight soaking can damage it.
- Soaking guidance
- Soak 3–15 minutes in warm water; overnight or hot-water soaks risk clouding or warping the plastic.
- Retainer lifespan
- Retainer lifespan depends mainly on grinding and bite force, not on the cleaning routine.
- Water temperature
- Use warm—not hot—water for the 3-minute soak; hot water can warp the plastic.
- Hard water
- Warm soak releases a water softener, preventing hard-water haze; no rinse is needed.

ClearRetain says one quick soak with its Cleaning Minerals removes 99.999% of bacteria from your device, and that the formula is designed to kill odor-causing bacteria. The label also advertises that it removes stains and odors, and the merchant claims it works better than tablets, sprays, and mouthwashes.[1,2]

The merchant says the oxygen-powered minerals lift stains and remove buildup, keeping devices clear and bright-looking. Soak times range from 3 minutes for a standard clean to 10–15 minutes for an extreme clean.[1]
Minty fresh after a soak
The merchant says this soak is formulated to kill odor-causing bacteria, with mint essential oil added to keep you feeling fresh longer — a use they position for cleaning aligners, retainers, and night guards.[1]
