How to use your miswak
Step 2
Peel and chew the tip
Remove about 1 cm of bark from one end, then gently chew the exposed fibres until they separate into a soft brush head.

Brush as usual
Use small circles or short back-and-forth strokes across every tooth, inside and out.
Trim the used bristles every few days and chew a fresh tip.
Step 4
Dry and store upright
Pat it dry and keep it standing up somewhere airy so it doesn't go mouldy between uses.

Questions?
How do I prepare my Miswak?
Rinse it, remove around 1 cm of bark and gently chew the end until soft, brush-like fibres form.
How often should I trim the fibres?
Refresh the working end regularly. Research has found that a freshly exposed Miswak tip releases much more of a naturally occurring compound called BITC than the same working tip when repeatedly reused.
How should I store my Miswak?
Rinse the fibres after use and keep your Miswak in a cool, clean and well-ventilated place. Avoid sealing heavily wet fibres for long periods.
How long does one Miswak last?
There is no fixed lifespan. It depends on how often you use it, how it is stored and the individual stick. Replace it when it becomes too short, deteriorated or no longer pleasant or effective to use.
When did the Prophet ﷺ use Miswak?
Authentic narrations describe its use around prayer, after waking during the night and when entering the home.
What is a key hadith about Miswak?
‘Aishah رضي الله عنها narrated that the Prophet ﷺ said:
“Siwak is a means of purification for the mouth and is pleasing to the Lord.”Sunan an-Nasa'i 5
Can I use Miswak while fasting?
Miswak is widely regarded by scholars as permissible while fasting. Detailed rulings and preferences can differ depending on individual circumstances.
Does Miswak actually clean teeth?
Yes. Miswak provides mechanical cleaning, and clinical research shows that it can remove dental plaque and improve periodontal-health measures when used correctly.
Does Miswak help with plaque?
Yes. Clinical studies and reviews have found that Miswak can reduce dental plaque when used correctly.
Does Miswak support gum health?
Yes. Clinical research has reported improvements in periodontal-health measures among Miswak users, although correct technique is important.
Is Miswak antibacterial?
Salvadora persica contains naturally occurring compounds that have demonstrated antimicrobial activity in scientific research. The effect can vary depending on how the plant is prepared and used.
Why should I refresh the working tip?
Research measuring compounds released during actual Miswak use found substantially higher BITC exposure from the first use of a freshly exposed working tip than when the same tip was repeatedly reused. Regularly preparing fresh fibres therefore forms part of good Miswak care.
What is Sunnah Store Miswak made from?
100% Salvadora persica, also known as Al-Arak, sourced from Saudi Arabia.
Why does each Miswak look slightly different?
Miswak is a natural plant product, so small differences in colour, thickness, texture and appearance are completely normal.
Why does Miswak have a strong taste?
Al-Arak naturally has a distinctive earthy, peppery taste and aroma. Because it is a natural product, the intensity can vary from stick to stick.
