Homemade Denture Cleaner

Tired of constantly buying denture cleaner? I know I get tired of buying it for my retainers.

Now you will no longer have to buy denture cleaner after I give you a few simple homemade cleaner recipes I have found made from house  hold products.

•  Bleach-based soak:
• Directions for Making: 
• 1 part bleach mixed with 10 parts water.
• Best to make when ready to use.
• Directions for use:
• Soak for only 3-10 minutes. **Do not soak overnight**
• Rinse dentures off with cool water before placing them back into the mouth.
• Vinegar-based soak:
• Directions for making:
• Soaking duration mixtures:
• 10 minute soaking: Full strength vinegar.
•  30 minute soaking: 1 part vinegar to 1 part water.
• 8 hours soaking: 1 part vinegar to 9 part water.
• Directions for use:
• After soaking,bush the denture to help remove stubborn mineral deposits.
• Rinse denture with cold water and place them back into the mouth.
• Sodium Bicarbonate soak:

*Note: If you are not placing your dentures back into your mouth after you have soaked them, they should be immersed in clean water.
