In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: A rough washcloth will do a better job of cleaning, but a paper towel will do if a washcloth is not available. Wrap the washcloth or paper towel around your index finger, dampen it, and add toothpaste if you have some. Brush your teeth as if using a toothbrush: begin at the gums and work down, cleaning each individual tooth with a circular motion. Don't forget to brush your tongue. Rinse your mouth thoroughly when done, swishing back and forth. Before there were toothbrushes, most people brushed their teeth with twigs. In many parts of the world, they still do, using twigs from oak, arak, or neem trees. Research shows that twigs from the arak tree contain natural fluoride and antimicrobial agents, and brushing with them is as or more effective as brushing with a toothbrush and toothpaste. Pick a young, flexible branch about 6 to 8 inches long (15 to 20 cm). You want one without real bark, only a thin skin. Peel the skin off and chew on one end of the stick until the fibers separate, turning the end into a little brush. Use it to brush your teeth. You can also use a toothpick to clean between teeth, but use caution so as not to hurt your gums and make them bleed. If no paper towels, washcloths, or twigs are at hand, you can always use your finger. Be sure to wash your hands very well first, then use your index finger as you would a toothbrush: begin at the gums and work down for the upper arch and work up for the lower arch, cleaning each individual tooth with a circular motion. Be sure to rinse your finger before moving from your top to bottom teeth, and from the front to the back of your teeth. Rinse your mouth thoroughly when done, swishing back and forth and from one cheek to another for at least 30 seconds.
Summary: Use a washcloth or paper towel. Find a twig. Make do with your finger.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Use a comb to draw your part along either side of your head. Brush the hair on both sides of this part to keep it smooth. To create this look, you'll create a partial French braid that drapes down along one side of your head. As you form the braid, though, you'll leave some hair hanging down from beneath it, creating a "waterfall" effect. This style may be better for individuals with short hair that comes to at least their shoulders or just above their shoulders. Alternatively, if your hair is very short you can try to do a waterfall braid on a section of your hair, not your entire head. Gather approximately 2 inches (5 cm) of hair toward the front of your face. This section of hair should be taken from the wider side of your part. If you have long, sideswept bangs, your first section of hair will mostly consist of your bangs. If not, draw the section from the hair closest to your part and at the front of your face. Split the section of hair into three equal portions, then braid those portions together into one or two full braids. To form a single braid, cross the left portion of hair over the middle portion, then cross the right portion of hair over the new middle portion (previous left portion). Gather a new portion of hair into the braid by drawing it from the top of your head.You'll add this hair to your braid using a traditional French braiding technique. Pick up a section of hair directly next to the topmost section of your braid. The section should be roughly one-third as thick as the overall braid. Draw the new portion together with the current topmost piece, essentially forming one large portion. Create another single braid using this newly joined portion of hair. Gather a new portion of hair into the braid from beneath. Instead of incorporating it into a standard French braid, however, you'll use this new section as a substitute for an old section. Pick up the second new portion will from directly beneath and behind the braid. Draw together a portion of hair roughly one-third as thick as the overall braid. Drop the current bottom portion of the the braid and allow it to hang loose down the side of your head. Create one new braid using the new bottom portion. Leave the previous bottom portion alone. Continue drawing new hair into the braid using the same technique as before. Braid the hair in this manner until you reach the back of your head. Each new portion of hair taken from above the braid should be woven into the braid with the previous top portion. Each new portion of hair taken from beneath the braid should be woven into the braid instead of the previous bottom portion. Tie the loose end of the braid off with a small elastic hair band. Allow the loose ends to hang down naturally off the back of your head. Carefully brush the loose hair hanging from beneath your braid to remove any tangles and smooth out any frizz. Check your braid in the mirror. If you like the way it looks, the braid is done and ready to show off. If not, unbraid and redo until you have the desired look.
Summary: Part your hair along the side. Grab a section of hair. Create a few braids from this section. Gather new hair into the braid. Pick up a new section from the bottom. Repeat to desired length. Secure the braid. Sport your new braid.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: If you haven't purchased a mattress in a while, it's good to see what options are available before going to a store. Check prices online to see what you feel is reasonable based on what is being offered. Mattress brands are often coming out with new styles of mattresses including ones that offer adjustable firmness levels and temperatures. Decide how high-tech you want your mattress to be, as some of these may only be available at specialty stores or online. Look up what special features may be offered by each mattress brand including a trial period or money-back guarantee. If desired, you can print this information to bring to the store with you. Although this is difficult to determine without first testing mattresses, a few physical factors can help direct your decision. If you have back problems, consider a medium-firm to firm mattress choice. These are best for supporting your lower back and reducing back pain. Pillow-top mattresses are best for people who aren't too light, as they won't have enough weight to suppress the top and the springs to a point that it makes a difference in comfort. Larger people typically find pillow-top mattresses more comfortable for this reason. Ignore the spring count that is given as proof for a mattress' supposed quality and firmness or softness. Studies have shown that the number of springs doesn't actually affect how comfortable the mattress is. Nothing is worse than finding and purchasing your perfect mattress, just to realize you can't fit it in your house. Check your space availability in your bedroom, and then decide on a size of mattress to fit. Twin mattresses are the smallest size, and measure on average 39"/75". The next largest size after a twin mattress is a full or double mattress, which measures at 54"/75". The queen sized mattress is the most commonly purchased by couples for its size and relative price. It measures at 60"/80". King size bed is the largest standard sized mattress available. It is 76"/80". Some mattress brands and stores offer an extra large bed called the California king, which measures at 72"/84". Be sure the mattress size you intend to purchase not only fits inside your bedroom, but also through all doors used to enter the room. Typically, specialty mattress stores will have more informed salespeople and information on mattresses than a generic furniture store. Be sure that where you choose to buy has a good reputation and helpful employees.
Summary:
Visit mattress websites to see what's offered. Decide on a level of firmness. Measure the space you plan to put the bed. Find a store(s) to shop at.
