Dear Heloise: Do you know of any way to clean dentures? I've been reading your column every day hoping I would see a solution. Thank you so much. — J.T., North Plainfield, N.J.

      As a matter of fact, I do have a homemade denture-cleaning solution that works great. Note: Check with your dentist before using this solution; it contains bleach and cannot be used on cast-chrome, gold-framed or partial dentures that have wire or metal frames.
      This homemade cleaning solution can easily be made by adding 1 teaspoon of household bleach and 1 teaspoon of water softener to 1 cup of water; mix well. To use, soak your dentures for 10-15 minutes each day, and follow by brushing and rinsing well.
      As a bonus, I'd like to give you the recipe for a tooth-brushing powder that has been a reader favorite for more than 45 years. (CAUTION: If you are on a salt-restricted diet, you should consult with your doctor before using this, as it is high in sodium!) (MY ADDITION: If you use the GOOD SALT, the kind that hasn't been 'messed up' like table salt, still light gray with mineral flecks, you will be ahead of the game!-"Cheyenne Cin")

      You'll need:
      1/2 to 1/3 cup salt
      1 pound box of baking soda
      Make your favorite flavor by adding a few drops of vanilla extract or oil of clove, or a dash of cinnamon spice
      Mix the above ingredients in a glass blender (do not use plastic — it might scratch) by first pouring the salt into the container and blending until it is powder. Next, add the baking soda. Mix again for just a second or two. IMPORTANT: DO NOT OVERBLEND. Last, add the vanilla extract, oil of clove or cinnamon and mix.
      Store the mixture in an airtight container. To use, put some on a wet toothbrush, brush your teeth, rinse well and voila — now you've got something to smile about! — Heloise

Baking soda and salt make a very effective toothpaste. Also, salt water makes a good mouthwash 2 cup of vinegar in place of Use straight hydrogen peroxide as a toner

 

(I SAW ANOTHER SUGGESTION that dentures be soaked in vinegar and water, but not metal parts!)

(As well as GOOD SALT, ORGANIC OR KOMBUCHA APPLE CIDER VINEGAR, I recommend FOOD GRADE H202! --"Cheyenne Cin"-- P.S. Nothing but the best!)
