I have hundreds of denture cleaner tablets that were my mom’s, I used to stockpile them for her. She has since passed away and I don’t know anyone who has dentures to give them to. It seems wasteful to just throw them away since they’re still perfectly good. What can these be used for besides cleaning dentures? I would appreciate any ideas. The closest tag is personal care but it’s the uses in other categories that I’m after.

If they’re sealed, donate them to your local food bank or shelter.
Toilet bowl cleaner.
Local FB gifting site.
People give away all sorts of stuff.
Very effective at cleaning coffee makers of any kind, coffee stained mugs, food stained bowls, etc.
Toilet cleaner. They are good for limescale – soaking shower head.
They work well for cleaning stainless steel water bottles also can use it for your coffee pot
Do you wear a retainer or use invisalign because it can clean those as well.
Maybe donate to a senior center?
I buy them at dollar store to clean vases and toilet tanks.
Cleaning a retainer?
Id contact an orthodontist office to see if theyll accept them for their less well-to-do patients
I use then to clean my night guard. It also works on Invisalign. You’re not supposed to scrub them with a toothbrush as it can cause abrasions and therefore increase bacterial growth.
It’s why I own denture tablets. As to why I felt like I needed the jumbo size pack….no idea.
Following thread for additional ideas
Many many moons ago when I was in cosmetology school we would crumble them up very fine and use them in manicure soaks if the nails were stained.
They are all I use to clean my water bottles. Great for that with a bit of hot water. Same ingredients as fancy “water bottle cleaner tablets”.
