Refrigerator Shelf Liners

NickNack — Tue, 13 Jul 2021 16:34:13 GMT

Does anyone use refrigerator shelf liners? I remember Jill Bauer (I think) recommended these on the Today Show one morning, but I don't remember the brand. I'm going to clean my refrigerator today and would like to start using these.

Does anyone use them? Do you like them? Is there a specific brand you'd recommend?

No, but a poster here a few years ago (I forget who it was) mentioned the Target $ bins at the front of the store, and that's what I did when I reorganized and adjusted the shelves of the refrigerator.

I have a bin for condiments, one for cheese, another for meat/poultry, and one for drinks. They are easy to pull out, grab what I need, and if something leaks it doesn't affect the glass shelf.

I also put coated wire shelves in the freezer......and stack the small plastic baskets on them. Keeps small items from getting "lost" or falling out on the kitchen floor when I open the freezer door.

I use ribbed refrigerator liners from The Container Store. I love them. They're along the line of what @jackthebear @posted.

@jackthebear @NickNack

I use a similar product. To me the ribs are essential to prevent slipping. I cut them perpendicular to the shelf ribs, seem to contain spills that way.

Happy 🧼 cleaning, the refrigerator is a least favorite thing to clean, right up there with dusting the shutters / blinds.

Thank you so much for your replies @Drythe @gidgetgh @jackthebear @Desertdi and @lolakimono . All sound like good ideas. I think I'm going to order some liners and try them.

And put off that cleaning ‘till they arrive! 😉

Extra time to snuggle Ava & Henry!

I use the shelf liners you buy on a roll. Cut to fit yourself.

@Drythe That sounds like a great idea. I'm getting ready to go out of town, though, and will have a petsitter staying here with them. My house is basically always pretty clean, but it made me realize my refrigerator is kind of embarassing. I have to clean it before I leave.

I only line the solid bottom shelves..like on the doors and fruit and veggie bins.

I never line the wire shelves. When you do that, you block the cold air from circulating.

I do use the plastic storage bins to store items, but leave space around them for the air to circulate.

I purchased the following a couple of years ago, from Amazon, and feel they've served me well. The roll was easy to cut to size and cleanup is quite easy if a jar has a sticky bottom or you get a little spill.

Thank you for the recommendation @JeanLouiseFinch . They have great reviews. I think I'll order them.

@Carmie I don't have wire shelves. They're all clear solid.

NOPE! My fridge & freezer never gets that dirty. Something spills, I wipe immediately. To me personally, I would be wasting my $$$$.

I totally agree. Refrigerators are so easy to clean.

My cousin who a "organizer" told me about buying $1 placemats at the Dollar Tree. She lines her glass shelves with them and they can be cut to fit.

I open her fridge and its so pretty as she has "lemon design" placemats.

For me - I haven't done it NOR do I want to as I wipe my fridge every other day.

But what I do use in my veg bins is these small packs that keep the condensation out and my vegs fresh. They are called "BluApple" (Bought at BB&B came with a little blue apple)

I love these packets. And long ago I bought that "genius fridge deodirizer" from Chef Tony that you put in for freshness and its still working!

I think Jill Bauer sometimes goes a little overboard ... most know those tricks already!
