Can i clean my teeth with harpic toilet cleaner ?

No!: Do not use toilet bowl cleaner as toothpaste, even one that claims it is all natural. It still has potent nasty chemicals that will cause serious harm to your mouth. Stick with toothpaste. Get your teeth cleaned by a dentist. Flossing every day will keep you from building up tarter on your teeth. Stay safe.

Why ?: Why not just use toothpaste? Toilet bowl cleaner is not formulated for use in your mouth... I'm sure you understand that. It contains hydrochloric acid (10%) as the active ingredient, along with butyl oleylamine and others in an aqueous solution.

Only: Only if you want to see the inside of your hospitals emergency room, permanently scar the soft tissues of your mouth and throat, and run the risk of having to have your stomach pumped. Toilet bowl cleaners are strong chemical formulas designed to clean toilets, not skin, lips, tongues, inside of cheeks, etc. it would be like shampooing with battery acid.

Not recommended: You should not use it inside the mouth. The harpic toilet cleaner may cause burns in the mouth and throat.
