What I would do is boil the retainer in hot water to get the germs off. Then wash it in hot, soapy water. Lt it dry or towel dry it and it should be fine!!
NO! Boiling in hot water can damage the retainer (or palatal expander or whatever you're trying to clean). I had this happen with my daugher's retainer and I cleaned it with antibacterial soap & water, then let it soak in Listerine for an hour, before cleaning it with Polident (following directions for denture soaking). I think that between those three the germs, bacteria, etc. should have been vanquished.
