These At-home Solutions Can Clean Your Dentures in a Jiffy​

• Peroxide bath. This brown-bottled solution is found in almost every teeth whitening solution. Plus, it serves as great everyday cleaner. To clean your dentures with peroxide simply add peroxide and a little water to glass. Then, allow the dentures to soak overnight. Peroxide keeps dentures clean and bright; plus, it’s inexpensive and easily found in just about every pharmacy.
• 
  
• Baking soda and vinegar solution. Denture cleaners usually bubble and fizz when mixed with water. If you would like a similar, cheaper alternative, use vinegar and baking soda instead. Take a teaspoon of baking soda and add it to your denture cup. Then place the dentures inside, and pour enough vinegar (white distilled) to submerge them. Let those soak overnight and follow your morning cleansing routine as usual.
• 
  
• Bleach water mixture. Bleach is a known germ-killer and it can make your dentures squeaky clean, too. To make a bleach solution, your Ankeny, IA dentist suggests using two parts of water for every one part of bleach. A bleach water bath cleans and deodorizes exactly like a denture cleaner.

I have all of my teeth, no dentures. I rinse my mouth with peroxide often after I brush, spit it out, and let it work on the plaque.

Peroxide wouldn't taste good, but probably wouldn't be horrible either. I can't imagine putting something vinegar-soaked of bleach-soaked in my mouth. No doubt that'll kill off a few bacteria - it's the host organism that I'm worried about turning into collateral damage.

I have no need of dentures or implants. Teeth were a luxury.

well for an overnight soak it seems workable--just got to rinse off good before putting in next morning. i use denture tabs but read there is some really really nasty stuff in there and not really necessary. so heres some options, especiallly when next chapter in life we cant find or afford them
