As mouth guard stays overnight in your mouth ,bacteria present in your mouth get deposited in night guard and is not visible to naked eye ,it is better to wash with antibacterial solution before using it on next day,

Hi, Cleaning with normal water is enough on daily basis. Make sure to clean the night guard thoroughly under running water using your fingers.
