Consider these points when choosing tray cleaners for your dental practice:
Effectiveness: The tray cleaner should effectively remove debris, stains, biofilm, and bacteria and should be able to clean both hard and soft materials such as thermoplastic, acrylic, and metal without causing damage, discoloration, or deterioration.
Nontoxic & Safe Ingredients: Look for nontoxic, biodegradable, and environmentally friendly ingredients and ensure the product is safe for frequent use in a clinical setting.
Disinfection & Sanitization Properties: Tray cleaners with disinfecting properties can help ensure trays are not only clean but also free of harmful microorganisms, reducing the risk of cross-contamination.
Ease of Use: The cleaner should be easy to use with simple application methods, such as spray or soak options. Also consider whether it requires special equipment, such as ultrasonic cleaners.
Fragrance-Free or Mild Scent: Choose a tray cleaner with a neutral or mild scent, as strong fragrances may be bothersome to patients or staff.
Compliance with Regulatory Standards: Ensure the tray cleaner complies with local regulations, such as FDA guidelines.
