The coating your toothbrush leaves behind every morning
Dr. Wunder answers that with a silver-plated tongue cleaner in surgical stainless steel – done in seconds, every morning.
💎
Wide blade, one stroke
The curved edge covers the full width of the tongue and lifts the coating off in a single pass.
🛡️
Firm flex, secure hold
The arch barely gives, so you can guide it with one hand. The ribbed ends stay put even with wet fingers.
🧘
Ayurvedic oral care
In Ayurveda, cleaning the tongue has been part of daily care for centuries – long before toothbrushes existed.
🏆
One tool, not a consumable
Surgical stainless steel instead of plastic: no replacement heads, no refills, no edge that frays over time.
Teeth brushed, floss used – and still that furry film is there. The back of the tongue is not a smooth surface but a field of papillae with countless small hollows. Food residue, dead cells and bacteria gather there overnight. Bristles only reach so far; they tend to spread the coating rather than lift it.
A flat edge works differently. It sits on the surface and pushes the film ahead of it instead of swirling it around – much like a squeegee taking water off a pane of glass. Whatever comes loose ends up visibly on the metal. A few strokes at the basin are all it takes.
Behind the product is Dr. Wunder OG in Graz, an Austrian supplier of oral and body care. The cleaner is made from a single piece – no screws, no joints, no seams where anything could stay behind. That is the kind of difference you only notice after a few months in the bathroom.
📋 Directions for use
Hold the tongue cleaner by both ends, stick out your tongue and draw it from back to front with gentle pressure. Repeat up to five times, rinsing under running water after each stroke. Best used in the morning, before brushing your teeth.

The silver-plated surface – what it does and what it doesn't
Silver sits here as a coating on the steel. It gives the blade its shine and a smooth, closed surface that lets water run off instead of settling in pores. We deliberately make no germ-inhibiting claim for it – statements like that need proof of their own. What counts here is the mechanics: a clean edge that lifts.
If you wake up with a coated tongue
Anyone who breathes through the mouth at night knows the feeling – the tongue dries out and the film gets denser. Coffee, black tea and heavily spiced food leave visible traces too. And if you pull oil in the morning, you want the loosened residue off the tongue afterwards anyway. In each case, the tongue is where most of it stays behind.
⚠️ Notes: For adults. Not recommended for children under 12. Use gentle pressure only.
📦 Care & storage: Rinse thoroughly with clear water after each use, dry with a clean cloth and store dry. No detergent needed.
💬 Frequently asked questions
-
Does tongue cleaning help with unpleasant breath?+
A large share of the odour compounds in the mouth comes from bacteria breaking down protein residue on the back of the tongue. Removing that coating mechanically removes what they feed on. It does not replace brushing and flossing – it is the step most people skip.
-
Will it make me gag?+
That depends on how far back you start. For the first few days, begin in the middle of the tongue and work backwards millimetre by millimetre. Breathing out during the stroke helps too. After a handful of sessions the reflex settles.
-
How hard should I press?+
Gently. The blade should lift the film, not scratch the tongue. If it stings or the surface looks red afterwards, the pressure was too high. Less pressure plus one extra stroke beats one forceful pass.
-
Can several people share one cleaner?+
Better not. Like a toothbrush, a tongue cleaner is a personal hygiene item – in a shared bathroom, one per person makes more sense. Delivery includes a single cleaner.
-
Does the surface rust or tarnish?+
Surgical stainless steel does not rust. The silver-plated surface can turn duller over time in constant damp – a question of looks, not of function. Wiping it dry after rinsing keeps the shine.
-
In which order do I combine this with oil pulling?+
In the Ayurvedic order, oil pulling comes first, then the tongue cleaner. The oil loosens, the blade lifts. Both happen right after getting up, before breakfast.
