Yep once a month in straight white vinegar overnight.
A teaspoon of bleach can be added to a water soak but cannot be used if there are any metal components to the denture or partial.
Good ole soap and water still works wonders, just be sure to rinse off all of the soap before inserting into the mouth.

There is no magic in Polydent, and it has no antimicrobial activity that I know of. So if you use the same container you'll just be culturing bacteria and yeasts. If you like the minty taste, brush the dentures wimild soap and soak them in a little mouthwash. Occasional soaking in vinegar will keep the tartar down.

Will one tablet dropped into water last more than overnight? I can't find any references to how long that solution will last and remain effective. Polident just say use it daily, no mention of using a new tablet daily.
