I have some white gunk on my retainer. I have tried: brushing it, baking soda and water, and scrapping. It still is there...what can I use??

Get denture cleaner and soak it in there. That's what I always did and it worked great.

Never "scrape" your retainer. It ruins the finish on it and gives bacteria a place to take hold. Buy some denture cleaner, I use Efferdent. Put your retainer in warm water and then drop the Efferdent tablet into the water. Let it soak for a while and then use a toothbrush to brush it off under running water.

Try using Polident for Partials. It's a cleaner for dental partials which have metal and plastic and can also be used for retainers as explained on package.

ANY CLEANING TABLET FOR DENTURES SUCH AS EFFERDENT OR POLIDENT. LET THE RETAINER SOAK WITH SOME WARM WATER AND A TABLET ACCORDING TO THE DIRECTIONS.
