I keep mine in a glass dish on my desktop and attempt to cleanse them in hydrogen peroxide on occasion. Ultimately, surgery is the best option in my experienced opinion, but it also has diminishing returns over time (~20 years in my case). This occurred recently for me, and I am looking to consult with an ENT again, when I feel like taking the recovery leap. With that said, I am still functioning extremely better than I ever did when I couldn't breathe 20 years ago.

If it's silicone, just put it in boiling water sometimes, as you would a menstrual cup.

Silicones are common in cooking utensils and used at temperatures way beyond what you'd need for your hygiene purpose.
