let it soak in 50/50 non-chlorinated water and hydrogen peroxide? I've always

used over the counter cleaners but now know those are loaded with toxins so

would like to try something else.

+++Hi . If your retainer doesn't contain metal you can soak it in 50/50

H202 and water - that's what I soak my dentures in. If it contains any metal

soak it in baking soda water (not sure how much to use).

Hey I wonder if GSE would do it?

Back when I used to wear my retainer (I've been bad now LOL), I just brushed it

with my toothbrush when I cleaned my teeth. At the time, of course, I used

toothpaste, but you could try it with your homemade variety or toothsoap too, I

imagine.

HTH,

*** Hi Anne:

Bee does not recommend GSE (Grapefruit Seed Extract) for anything because of the

chemicals used in processing the GSE. You can find more about this on her

website.
