yes
No, use denture cleaning solution.
Yes you can absolutely do that. But it is also good to buy denture cleaner tablets and let them soak at least once a week
Yes, you can.
Continuous use of toothpaste over a long period of time may be too abrasive and scratch your dentures. Use a denture brush. Plain water should be sufficient to keep your dentures clean on a daily basis. Soaking your dentures in a commercial cleaner such as efferdent or polident overnight can also help to keep your dentures fresh and clean. For tough stains that won't come out with plain water, I suggest using powder laundry detergent like "Tide," but only once a week.

Yes, you can. Cleaning dentures with soap and water also works. Plus, get some denture tablets and let your denture soak in it.
