Denture Cleaner Works Wonders

I rejuvenated a garage-sale coffeemaker with denture cleaner tablets. I dropped several tablets in a cup of very hot water and used an old toothbrush and many q-tips to clean the inside of the lid, the filter holder, and as much of the reservoir as I could reach. The denture solution also worked on the exterior of the machine, including around the heating ring and beneath the filter holder. I also used denture cleaner on the carafe. I dumped the remaining solution into the reservoir, added a few more tablets and enough hot water to fill the tank, and let it sit overnight. The next day I ran the coffee maker with the denture cleaner solution in it, followed by two tanks of water. Then I did a tank of vinegar to decalcify and to flush out any sediment leftover from the denture solution, followed by two pots of clean water. Then I made a delicious pot of coffee.

Denture cleaner is great on coffee-stained mugs and counters. Probably dentures, too.
