Yes, peroxide and baking soda are natural whiteners so they will help, minimize, daily stain. Peroxide is the main ingredient in tooth whiteners. I couldn't tell you about the others "remedies". I'm a dental assistant so here's my 2 cents. I would suggest the Crest White strips followed with peroxide and baking soda toothpaste (Crest or Colgate). Keep in mind though that if you smoke, drinks a lot of dark liquids daily (coffee, tea, dark soda, even red wines) you will not notice that big of a difference because you are putting the stain back on. Also, if you have sensitive teeth, be prepared for more sen. if you use any professional bleachers (like Crest whitening strips). The sensitivity will go away. Lastly if you have any tooth colored fillings or crowns, the bleach will not change the shade of them so you may notice that difference when bleaching your teeth. Oh, the Listerine mouth rinse, again, is mainly a diluted peroxide rinse. It's not going to whiten your teeth like the strips will. Hope this helped.
