Recipe for Making an At-Home Denture Cleanser

Commercial denture cleansers can be costly, and many of them have mysterious ingredients. Using a homemade denture cleanser erases all of your concerns since you control the products that go into it and the price. As a bonus, you can get rid of the unsightly stains from nicotine, food, soda, tea and coffee and sanitize your dentures. The ingredients for a safe homemade denture cleanser suitable for everyday use can be found in your kitchen pantry.

Instructions

• 1

  Put the teaspoon of baking soda into a clean glass or bowl.

• 2

  Place the dentures carefully into the glass or bowl.

• 3

  Vinegar is a natural cleaner.

  Add enough vinegar to fully cover the dentures. Do this slowly to avoid the liquid sloshing and making a mess.

• 4

  Place the cup in a safe place, and let it sit overnight.

• 5

  Remove the dentures, and rinse them under a stream of warm water for two minutes.

• 6

  Brush the dentures as you normally do with a denture brush or a soft toothbrush. Do this in a circular motion once you apply the toothpaste to the brush. Brush the outside of the dentures and the inside area that sits against your gums.
