Do "natural" teeth whitening techniques actually work?

Okay so basically i know i'm going to give in to Chest White Strips eventually, but i wanna try the natural ways of whitening teeth. Waste of time, or do they kinda work?

Here are some of the remedies i've heard:
- back of orange peels to give em nice luster/shine
- bakin soda
- strawberries (crush em and make a paste then apply to teeth and leave it on for about 5 min. Then wash away.)
- eating celary
- since most commercial whitening things are made from hydrogen peroxide you could buy some at a store. Then put it onto a q-tip and apply. But make sure not to get it onto gums, they will become VERY sensative. Then wash it all off. & make sure not to swalow.


Do any of these work?! And if so how long does it take for the results to show, cuz i'm kinda of an impatient person =)

Answers:
I, personally have tried crest white strips. They really do work! After only about 30 minutes my teeth are 4-5 shades whiter!!
Yes we do it and it takes 2 or 3 weeks.
the crest whitening strips worked for me (sorry). I put them on b4 jumping on treadmill. Now I use peroxide for upkeep (gave up cigs, but not coffee)
