1. Open your mouth and stick out your tongue 👅
2. Place the scraper as far back on your tongue as you are comfortable
3. Make a few small strokes from back to front - no need to cover the whole length of your tongue in one swipe
4. Look at your scraper. The white stuff is called "gunk" 😲
5. Rinse the scraper under the tap
6. Repeat until you've covered your whole tongue and the residue comes out mostly clear

Enjoy your newfound gunk freedom and a new level of freshness!

Once you've experienced it, you'll never go back to your old ways again 💋

Run the scraper head under warm water after each use. If you notice a lot of dried up residue, you may want to give it a deep cleaning or just replace it.

After rinsing scraper, give it a little pat dry before placing on the stand, just to keep the stand nice and clean.

Many of our esso® fanatics love to replace their Scraper Heads every month, while others replace them every 2-3 months - just depending on preference.

Similar to toothbrushes, experts recommend replacing tongue scrapers at least every 3 months.

esso® Replaceable Scraper heads are made of a special type of compostable biopolymer - MADE IN THE USA - designed to provide the softest, smoothest, silkiest-feeling scrape on the planet

Unscrew the old scraper head and screw the new one onto the handle. Refills can be purchased here.

esso® scraper heads are industrially compostable, meaning they can be dropped in the same bins as you would any type of food waste or yard trimmings and they will be composted of properly.

Thanks for doing your part to help reduce plastic waste!

Turn the stand over and peel the thin plastic tab that is on the underside, covering the special black adhesive. Now stick to any clean surface.

The stand is moveable and re-stickable at any time.

No! The special adhesive is re-stickable. Although the special adhesive sticks to your counter firmly, you can still remove and reapply somewhere else!

If you're moving it and it gets dirty or oily, it may not stick well. Just wash the dirt off lightly with a bit of water and let it dry. Voila! It's sticky again!

YES! Just peel it carefully from your countertop and stick it to something in your toiletry bag.

Once you're at your new location, peel it off and stick it to the counter.

Do the same on your way back. That's it!

YES! The adhesive is reusable/re-stickable!

If you're moving it and it gets dirty or oily, it may not stick. All you need to do is lightly wash the dirt off of the adhesive with a bit of water and let it dry. Voila, it's sticky again!

Tongue scraping is the process of using a tool to clean debris, bacteria, and dead cells that can accumulate on your tongue.

It's ESSENTIAL for oral hygiene and general health!

Bacteria, debris, and dead cells can easily build up on your tongue between your taste buds. Your tongue isn’t smooth - it is covered with crevices that trap particles.

Even if you brush your teeth well, you are leaving bacteria and other particles on your tongue if you’re not scraping it with the proper sraper. Brushing your tongue with a toothbrush isn't effective because it just moves the debris around. Using mouthwash or rinsing your mouth with water isn’t very effective either since it removes only the outer cells of debris.

If the debris is allowed to accumulate and remain on your tongue, it could cause bad breath, dental issues, and even general health issues.

The only side effect to esso® is fresher breath!

Actually, other scrapers do have side effects - most metal ones are too harsh and damage taste buds and desensitize your tongue. Plastic ones are usually too soft and make you push harder to clean, causing similar issues.

esso® has been designed to provide the most effective scrape while being super gentle! So no side-effects like other scrapers.

Like brushing your teeth, just don't overdo it.

With other scrapers, yes.

Most metal ones are too harsh and damage taste buds and desensitize your tongue. Plastic ones are usually too soft and make you push harder to clean, causing similar issues.

esso® has been designed to provide the most effective scrape while being super gentle, thereby eliminating any damage.

Like with anything else, just do it in moderation and you will have a happy tongue/happy life.

It surely isn't good...

Your tongue may have a white, coated appearance if you have a buildup of excess debris and bacteria.

If this occurs, you should scrape your tongue twice daily after brushing your teeth to remove the white coating and to keep it from returning.

If, in the rare case, it does not clear up after scraping your tongue twice daily for a week, it is recommended to see your doctor as it may be due to other internal factors.
