Couldn't you get just about the same results with your run of the mill
denture cleaner? The stuff seems to take of deposits quite nicely for me,
and I have no fears of not rinsed it thouroughly before putting it back in
my mouth. (Quick rinse, quick scrub, and you're done.)

I don't care how throuroughly I rinsed my mpc after using CLR...call me
paranoid, but I'd have trouble convincing myself that there wasn't some
that soaked into the rubber waiting to attack my lips! *grin*
