Clean the dentures under running water to remove food debris and plaque otherwise, bacteria can accumulate leading to an infection. Clean them over a soft surface like a towel to prevent them from breaking in case they fall from your hand.

When not in use, store them in a closed container containing water or denture cleaning solution overnight. Keep them in water overnight as most of them lose their shape if they are not kept moist.
