I got my braces off a little under two months ago. Since I got the Invisalign they told me not to use a toothbrush to clean it but soaking it in Listerine once a day was fine. Well I've been doing that but I've noticed a build up of this yellowish-white stuff on it. It looks really gross, how can I get it off?

How to get gunk off of Invisalign retainer?

That's plaque, the same stuff that builds up on your teeth. Here at two things that help.
First, rinse and shake off excess water. Then soak in hydrogen peroxide. It will help break off some of the buildup. Leave it for a few hours, then rinse. Do this once to help with the existing crud.
Second, get some denture cleaner tablets. Once a week, fill a small cup with hot tap water and add one tablet. Soak for at least 30 minutes, but I just leave mine in the solution all day, then rinse before putting them in at night.
Light brushing is okay if necessary.
