Clean the bathroom with cucumber
Cucumber is one of the green vegetables most commonly used in salads. It is particularly valued for its freshness, thirst-quenching and moisturizing effects. But what you didn’t know is that fighting limestone is also very popular! Surprising, isn’t it? Our grandmothers L regularly tended the oven!
How does it work? Rub the entire surface with a cucumber slice, leave for a few minutes and wipe with a clean cloth. It also works with bathroom accessories. Rub well onto steel and metal, leave to act for ten minutes, rinse and dry.

The properties of cucumbers are also very useful in your garden. Cut three or four pieces and place them in a container to keep them near the plants. This trick keeps caterpillars and snails away.
Finally, a little-known beauty ritual: cucumber slices, straight from the fridge, can relieve red skin and puffiness around the eyes. This application, done every other day, is a miracle as it significantly reduces dark circles and bags under the eyes.
