A tongue cleaning device has not been available which ensures easy and satisfactory tongue cleaning for prevention of halitosis. To solve the problem, a tongue cleaning device is provided which is adapted to suck a tongue surface through a cylindrical member 11 by a suction system while scraping the tongue surface with spatulate members 14 and brushes 15. Papillae on the tongue surface are successively raised or laid down by scraping the tongue surface with the spatulate members 14 and brushes 15. Therefore, fossae of the tongue papillae and fissurae and sulci between the tongue papillae are spread so that bacterial plaque and bacteria can be sucked out of the sulci and the like by the suction system. Thus, the tongue can easily be cleaned.
