Help with reflexive verbs in formal (usted/ustedes) commands

I was wondering about reflexive verbs in formal (usted/ustedes) and familiar (tú). For example, cepillarse in usted formal. I know you change it to Cepillese which means just brush itself, but I need "los dientes" with it. Meaning, "Brush your teeth!" right?

Don’t forget the accent on the í
Cepíllese = brush (yourself)
Cepíllese los dientes= brush your teeth
Cepíllese el cabello/pelo= brush your hair
Is this what you are looking for?

Can't forget about the accent! Thanks for the help. - Sixge, May 5, 2017
De nada. :) - bosquederoble, May 5, 2017
Y «Cepíllate los dientes». - jtaniel, May 5, 2017
Actually since the title was usted/ustedes commands the one to add would be cepíllense los dientes. For ustedes. :) - bosquederoble, May 5, 2017
Funny! I didn't pay attenton to the title, and you missed the "...and familiar (tú)." Between the two of us.... - jtaniel, May 5, 2017
I did indeed, funny that. I need to slow down and actually read things. Anyway if he didn't get what he need I suppose he would have questioned further. :) - bosquederoble, May 5, 2017
needed, not need (correction to my comment). :) - bosquederoble, May 6, 2017
