Defogging mirrors: Rub a couple of slices on the mirror to defog it. Make sure you clean in off.Polish your shoes: For a light clean and a good shine, wipe cucumber slices on your shoes.Cleaning stainless steel: Taps, sinks, stainless steel fridges and dishwashers can be wiped as normal, then rubbed with sliced cucumber to bring back an even shine. Make sure you polish after wiping and it won't streak.
