The container is provided with an opening receiving the dentures, instruments, or the like and is sealingly closable by a closure such as a slide fastener. A number of such containers may be placed into a tray and immersed into the ultrasonic cleaning device, wherein the bags are subjected to ultrasonic vibrations transmitted to the cleaning solution inside the bags to thereby clean the articles in the bags.
