I take a little amount of plax (the red color one) into the cap and douse it on my brush and clean my tongue with that. After a couple of days of regular use, my tongue has gotten clean.

If anyone has other better experience please post it.

Plax is an anti-plaque liquid sold in a bottle. You rinse with it before brushing to remove more plaque than with brushing alone....
