Maintenance

A miswak should be one hand span in length when selected. If it becomes dry, it should be soaked in rose water to ensure the end is soft. The end should be cut afresh to ensure hygiene, and should never be stored near a toilet or sink. It can be used by cutting the branches instead of roots (like people of Sudan) keeping in mind that the roots can keep the humidity of miswak more than the branches (longer time usage). There are also toothpaste made from Miswak extract which can be found in the Middle East, South Asia, South East Asia and Europe.
