Does anyone else brush and floss their teeth before the go to the dentist? I do and I don't know why. I don't wash and style my hair before going to the salon. Why do I feel the need to impress the dentist when I'm going to get my teeth cleaned? :shrug

1. Using a blunt edge (like that of a non-serrated butter knife or spoon), gently scrape up any excess from the surface .
2. Saturate the dried nail polish with hair spray and let it sit for a few minutes.
3. Gently scrub the stain with a soft-bristled toothbrush until the bulk of the stain has been loosened/removed. Then blot as much up as you can.
4. Apply a spot-cleaner/stain stick to the remaining stain, following the directions on the bottle, and then launder normally.
My son has a carpet cleaning business and has told me about this trick before, at least for carpet.
Wow, Unk, I've never heard that before, and it's fascinating to think hairspray could help. Let us know, Lil, how things turn out for you. :cheek
About the dentist, I love the feeling of freshly flossed teeth, and am somthing of a flossing freak. I can't go to bed until I've done the deed. :) ETA: Er, ah, I meant I can't go to bed until I've flossed. :lol *ahem*
I'm one of those that never flosses unless I have something stuck in my teeth! :teeth
Would using nail polish remover do any good? I don't know what color or kind of material your couch is, so it may leave an even worse looking stain.Quote:

I didn't realize it until about 7:45 that night. She had done it around 3-4 in the afternoon. I called up the company that cleaned my carpets and furniture and they sent a guy out first thing the next morning who worked magic and got the marker stain out of the couch!
Good luck!
My dentist office hands you a disposable, preloaded toothbrush and directs you to the bathroom before you get seated in his chair. I always brush my teeth before I go to the dentist and then again when I get there. But after talking to others that have similar dentists that ask you to brush before you go in the chair, I think they are tired of people that don't. :)Quote:

Wait a minute - I wouldn't EVER want to stick my face in someone's mouth. It doesn't matter if their teeth are clean, dirty, have stuff stuck in between them or whatever. You couldn't pay me enough.

At least working in a dentist office, the patients can't talk to you much.
