It's important to note that while there is evidence supporting the benefits of tongue scraping in general, the specific advantages of using a copper tongue scraper may vary from person to person. Additionally, individual oral care practices, overall oral hygiene, and other factors play a role in determining the effectiveness of tongue scraping. As with any oral care tool, it's advisable to use it as part of a comprehensive oral hygiene routine, which may include brushing, flossing, and regular dental check-ups. If you have specific oral health concerns, it's recommended to consult with a dental professional for personalized advice.

Cleaning a copper tongue scraper is a straightforward process. Here's a step-by-step guide on how to clean a copper tongue scraper:

Rinse Immediately After Use:

After using the copper tongue scraper, rinse it thoroughly under running water to remove any residual debris, saliva, or bacteria.

Use Mild Soap or Toothpaste:

Apply a small amount of mild soap or ground-up Kintab toothpaste tabs to the tongue scraper with a soft toothbrush or your fingers to scrub the surface of the scraper gently. This helps to remove any remaining particles and ensures a more thorough cleaning.

Brush or Scrub:

Use a soft-bristle toothbrush, sponge, or cloth to brush or scrub the entire surface of the copper tongue scraper. Pay attention to both sides of the scraper and any grooves or ridges where debris may accumulate.

Rinse Again:

Rinse the tongue scraper under running water to remove the soap or toothpaste and any loosened debris. Ensure that all cleaning agents are completely washed away.

Optional Disinfection:

If you want to disinfect the copper tongue scraper, you can soak it in a solution of equal parts white vinegar and water for a few minutes. After soaking, rinse it thoroughly with water. Don't soak too long as the vinegar will surely tarnish the copper!

Dry Completely:

Dry the copper tongue scraper thoroughly with a clean, dry towel. It's important to ensure that it is completely dry to prevent the growth of bacteria on the surface.

Polish (Optional):

  • If you want to maintain the appearance of the copper, you can use a copper cleaner or a mixture of equal parts lemon juice and baking soda to polish the tongue scraper. Apply the mixture, scrub gently, and then rinse thoroughly.

Store Properly:

Store the clean and dry copper tongue scraper in a clean, dry place. Avoid storing it in a damp or humid environment.

Final Words:

Regular cleaning and maintenance of your copper tongue scraper will help ensure its longevity and effectiveness in promoting oral hygiene. Always follow the manufacturer's recommendations for care and cleaning. If you notice any signs of wear or damage, consider replacing the tongue scraper for optimal oral health benefits.
