Tooth Paste For Stem Cleaning

[bluegrassbrian]

What's your favorite brand of toothpaste for stem cleaning?

Flitz…but wouldn’t try to brush my teeth with it.

 

[jhowell]

Automotive polishing compound, or Mother's...

+1 for Flitz. Toothpaste is too abrasive.
And, you could brush your teeth with it as it's non-toxic, non-abrasive and USDA approved. However, I prefer Pronamel for my teeth and Flitz for my pipe stems and metalwork.

I like a toothpaste impregnated cleaner clamped to bench to clean the airway of estate stems, but use micromesh and water on the exteriors.

Crest Total for that minty taste

For slightly oxidized stems Colgate Max White' seem to work fairly well

I just used Crest Whitening yesterday... Worked pretty well.

 

[tobakenist]

I use a Charcoal based toothpaste, for cleaning my teeth and stems, does a great job on both.

 

[woodrow]

A toothpaste with some baking soda in it. Be careful though because some can be quite aggressive. I polish up a brass razor with toothpaste.

Another grittier toothpaste one may use is the Arm and Hammer. This does contain baking sofa.

Do you use these on any stem, ebonite and bakelite included?

I think the idea is to combat oxidation, so it's a bit of a moot point with acrylic or other materials.

I do for minor surface abrasions on all stems. I only use it on ebonite to bring them up to a mirror finish as toothpaste isn't abrasive enough to remove oxidation.
