Five small mistakes, easy to avoid.
What we wish someone had told us on day one.
-
Reusing the same tip
Cut a fresh tip: the fibres work better fresh.
-
Scrubbing too hard
Soft strokes, no pressure. Gentle is the whole point.
-
Storing it wet or loose
A clean, dry, ventilated place keeps it pleasant.
-
Giving up on day two
The woody taste takes a few days. Here is how to get past it.
The full first-week plan comes in the box.

Days 6 and 7
Make it yours

Good to know
A few answers before you begin.
Is the mini-guide really free?
Yes. Enter your email and we send it to you. The full day-by-day first-week guide comes with every kit.
Does a miswak replace my toothbrush?
Yes, it can replace your plastic toothbrush as the tool you clean with. Keep your fluoride toothpaste in your routine, as dentists recommend.
Do I need the kit to use the guide?
No. The mini-guide is for anyone starting with a miswak. The kit adds the case, the sticks and the full first-week guide.
