Fantastic Value For Money

"The brush is amazing, it gets rid of all the gunk I could never reach before soaking them in the liquid retainer cleaner. My retainer is so much cleaner, it gleams!"

Abbie Clarke · Verified Review

Fab Cleaning Brush!

"Great little brush, having one side with a smaller ball shape end means it gets into the tiniest parts to clean. The cardboard store tube is sturdy, strong and planet-friendly too."

Helen James · Verified Review

Love It

"The liquid solution is so much better than the standard cleaning one I was given initially that tasted of chlorine. This is pleasant, and the brush gets in the corners better."

Verified Review

So Easy To Use!

"It arrived quickly, the instructions were clear and easy to follow, and the results speak for themselves. My retainer looks and feels fresh, no lingering odours or film."

Alex King · Verified Review

Perfect For Keeping Retainers Clean

"The set comes with a handy size brush that fits into all the parts that are hard to clean, a leak-resistant retainer case, a tool to remove the retainer from the pot, liquid cleaner and mint chews."

Alice · Verified Review

Amazing Kit

"I used so many retainer cases, and they're always rubbish. This case is well-made and feels durable. Keeping the retainers in the liquid mixed with water seems to work, keeping them clean is so much easier."
