Cleaning your snoring mouthpiece: how to keep your mouthpiece hygienic and fresh

How to Keep Your Snoring Mouthguard Fresh and Hygienic

A snoring mouthguard is worn in your mouth every night. That’s why proper cleaning is essential to prevent bacteria, buildup, and unpleasant odors. With the right products and a consistent routine, you can keep your device in top condition and significantly extend its lifespan.

Why Cleaning Is Important

An insufficiently cleaned snoring mouthguard can lead to:

• Accumulation of bacteria and biofilm

• Discoloration and bad odor

• Gum or oral tissue irritation

• Reduced effectiveness and shorter lifespan

Regular cleaning is therefore not optional but necessary for hygiene and comfort.

Daily Cleaning

Clean your snoring mouthguard every morning after removing it, using a gentle method and a suitable product.

Step-by-step guide: 

1. Rinse the device under lukewarm water.

2. Use a soft toothbrush (without toothpaste) to remove surface debris.

3. Apply a small amount of:

   • Ecosym Daily Cleaning Gel, or

   • Fresh & Clean Daily Cleaning Gel

4. Brush gently and rinse thoroughly.

5. Let the mouthguard air dry in a clean storage case.

Important: Do not use regular toothpaste – it is too abrasive and can damage the material.

Weekly Deep Cleaning

Once a week, a more thorough cleaning is required to remove deeper buildup, odors, and stains.

Recommended method: 

• Soak the device for 15 minutes in a solution with:

  • Ecosym Forte, or

  • Fresh & Clean Cleaning Tablets

• Rinse thoroughly with lukewarm water afterward.

• Let it dry in a clean, ventilated environment.

Do not use hot water, vinegar, bleach, baking soda, or dishwasher tablets.

Hygienic Storage

• Always store the mouthguard dry in a clean, ventilated case.

• Use the supplied storage box or a similar solution.

• Never leave the device soaking in water for long periods, except during cleaning.
