Maintenance of Miswak

• A Miswak should be one hand span in length when selected.
• If it becomes dry,it should be soaked in water to soften the end bristles.
• The end should be cut afresh to ensure hygiene and should never be stored near a toilet or sink .
• The brush may be created by cutting Salvadora persica ‘s branches instead of it’s roots ;keeping in mind that the trees roots can retain moisture more than its branches.
• This favours long term use.
