Use soap and warm water, can use a tooth brush or just hands. Don't put it in the dishwasher though it'll melt and toothpaste will rot it.
You can also get retainer brite tablets which you leave retainers to soak in for about 20 minutes and they are clean.
I've have them and i asked it doesnt make you sound like an idiot.
It is best to clean an Essix Retainer with the cleaner that was created by the company that makes Essix Retainers. The name of the cleaner is Retainer Brite (made by Raintree Essix --- yes THAT Essix).
You can't find Retainer Brite in stores, but you can buy it on the web at sites like http://www.dentakit.com.
