“I’d never used a tongue scraper before, but I noticed a difference straight away. There was so much coating coming off that I honestly couldn’t believe I’d been leaving it there.”

Over 700 species of bacteria live in your mouth. And every morning, they're back.
Bacteria, food debris and dead cells can build up in the coating on your tongue.
You don't see it. You don't feel it.
Brushing cleans your teeth, but doesn't effectively remove the buildup on your tongue.
Research shows tongue scraping can reduce tongue coating, bacterial load and compounds associated with bad breath.
Average bacterial counts measured on the tongue after 10 days without tongue hygiene.
A 2006 study investigated bacterial accumulation on the tongue surface after participants stopped tongue hygiene. Average bacterial counts increased from 17.1 million to 33.7 million after 10 days of coating accumulation.

“The biggest thing for me is how clean my mouth feels afterwards. It takes maybe 20 seconds and my tongue feels noticeably fresher than it does after brushing alone.”

“I mainly bought it because of the copper, but ended up loving the actual scraping. It removes the coating from my tongue really easily and has become part of my morning routine.”

“I like that it’s simple. No plastic handle, no complicated routine. Just scrape, rinse and it’s ready for the next morning. The copper feels much nicer than the plastic ones I’ve seen.”

Yes. The scraper is made from copper and designed specifically for daily tongue cleaning.
Copper has naturally antimicrobial properties, making it a long-lasting alternative to plastic tongue scrapers.
Gently run the scraper from the back of your tongue toward the front to lift away tongue coating, bacteria and debris.
Use light, comfortable pressure. You don't need to press hard for the scraper to work effectively.
Tongue coating can contain bacteria and compounds associated with bad breath. Scraping helps physically remove this buildup from the surface of your tongue.
Many people use a tongue scraper as part of their morning oral-care routine to help keep their tongue cleaner and their breath feeling fresher.
Copper is durable, reusable and naturally antimicrobial, while plastic scrapers are made from synthetic material.
If you're looking to remove plastic from your daily oral-care routine, copper gives you a reusable alternative that's built to last.
Once a day is enough for most people. Many prefer to use it in the morning before brushing their teeth.
Start gently and let your tongue get used to the sensation. There's no need to scrape aggressively or repeatedly.
Rinse the scraper thoroughly with water after each use and let it air-dry.
For a deeper clean, you can occasionally wash it with mild soap and water. Keep it dry between uses and avoid leaving it sitting in water.
I was pregnant with my first when I fell down the rabbit hole.
Reading about microplastics. Watching people close to me struggle with health problems. Looking at how much plastic and chemicals surrounded us every day, and wondering why nobody was talking about it.
So I tried to clean things up. But making better choices meant ten different shops, ten different brands, and endless greenwashing.
I started making the swaps I wanted for myself, then for friends, then for their friends. That's how Detox Rituals was born. We make it easier to rethink the everyday things you use, and choose better alternatives.
