Have you considered using cucumbers to help with homework, to clean with or to allow you to put on your make-up immediately after showering? Well, cucumbers help with those things and many more.
Quick Pick-Me-Up
Opt for a cucumber instead of soda and still make it through a busy afternoon without feeling tired.
Source of Vitamins and Minerals
Cucumbers provide six vitamins and seven minerals. So you can consider them almost a multivitamin on their own. Add a cucumber to your salad at lunch and get ahead on your daily vitamin intake.
Eliminates Shower Fog on Mirrors
Rub a slice of cucumber along the mirror to get rid of fog and also give the bathroom a comforting fragrance reminiscent of a spa visit. That way, you can jump out of the shower and put on make-up without waiting for the fog to clear. On top of that, the bathroom will smell good.
Tightens Skin
Cucumbers work great on collagen to tighten skin and get rid of cellulite and wrinkles. That saves you the time and money for treatment, and you can go to the pool and look great.
Gets Rid of Garden Pests
Placing slices of cucumber in a pie tin in the garden will get rid of slugs and grubs for the entire season.
Prevents a Hangover
Cucumbers, when consumed before bed, help you wake up feeling like you got a good night’s sleep and without any of the residual effects of the heavy drinking you did the night before. Sugar and electrolytes, as well as B vitamins, are in a cucumber and will help your system recover while you sleep.
Shines Shoes
Running a cucumber slice over your shoes before an interview will provide a great shine that also repels water, so that last minute step into a puddle you didn’t see won’t have your shoes looking grungy when you walk into the potential employer’s office.
Oils Squeaky Hinge
If you need a quick replacement for WD40, use a slice of cucumber to get rid of the squeak of a door hinge. Your house will be quieter and you didn’t have to spend more money.
Reduces Stress
Cutting up a cucumber and putting it in a pot of water to boil can release the aroma of the cucumber, filling the house with a smell that relaxes people who are new to parenthood, taking stressful tests or otherwise in need of some relaxation.
Eliminates Bad Breath
Applying a slice of cucumber to the roof of your mouth for 30 seconds can have the same effect as a piece of gum or a mint. So after that business luncheon, pop the slice of cucumber left from your salad into your mouth and avoid embarrassment during your business negotiations later.
Cleans Tarnish
For those faucets that look old and have not been properly cleaned in years, apply a cucumber to the surface and be prepared for clean, shiny and new-looking faucets instead.
Erases Pen
By using the cucumber skin carefully, you can erase what you have written with a pen. It also can be a great tool for marker and crayon that has been accidentally applied to walls.
Provides a Great Snack
Cucumbers can be a really great thing to keep around the home. It is amazing the many uses you can find for a slice of cucumber – or a whole one.
