I just got my retainers yesterday (upper and lower Essix), and my ortho said that the cleanest retainers he ever saw were those of a woman who said she just dumps straight baking soda into them and applies an electric toothbrush. Apparently, her retainers were more than two years old and still looked brand new! So that's what I tried this morning, but of course it'll be awhile before I know how well it works for me...
