Use siwak first when you get home

The practice
When you get home, make siwak the first thing you do.
When
Arriving home
In daily life
Keep a siwak in a cup by the front door or in your coat pocket, so it's in your hand the moment you walk in. After a long day out, you greet your family with a fresh mouth.
