Tongue Cleaner
Once you start using a Tongue Cleaner daily, you won't look back. It sounds weird, but it feels good - and is seriously addictive. Tongue cleaning can trace its origins to Ayurvedic medicine, a small daily action that can greatly impact your oral and physical health. Use your Tongue Cleaner in the morning before eating or drinking. This helps to reduce the bacteria that goes into your gut from your mouth.

4. Run the tongue cleaner under warm water to clear any debris and bacteria from the device.

To Clean: Use warm water and soap, dry, and store in a clean, dry area. Sterilise regularly with boiling water, at least matching the frequency with which you change your toothbrush.
Care: Your Tongue Cleaner is pretty low maintenance and is made from one single piece of stainless steel with no connections or moving parts that can break. Clean it regularly and you’ll be fine.
End of Life: Your tongue scraper will last years upon years. If you do need an end-of-life solution, stainless steel is readily recycled with a buoyant market for recycled content. Please check the guidelines of your local area or use a scrap metal service.

Use a tongue scraper when you wake up and before any food or drink. This is important because cleaning your tongue prevents bacteria from going into your gut. It's best to clean your tongue in the morning and then again in the evening if possible - the morning clean is the most important.
-
No, the tongue scraper is specifically designed to clean the tongue, and the build-up that occurs overnight is removed from your mouth with the cleaner in the u-shaped bend. Brushing does not remove the build-up and bacteria efficiently. While some of it may be removed upon spitting, it still doesn’t give you the same level of cleaning as a specifically designed tongue cleaner does.

Similar to brushing, when you are using the Tongue Scraper it is possible to stimulate the gag reflex.
To avoid this, don't place the tongue scraper too far back on your tongue. When you first start, you may find it helpful to scrape from the middle of your tongue to the tip. You can move further back as you get used to it.
