Thoughts on kitchen shelf liners

CABINETS ARE IN!!!!!!

 

But, it hit me a few hours ago, I want to protect the pure white shelves inside from the usual scratching and scraping as I take things in and out. 

 

25 years ago and more, I used the old stick on Contact paper. Never. Again. 

 

I see there are new kinds of shelf liners that don't adhere to the shelves, just line it, and I need your experiences with brands/types. 

 

My main goals are to find something easy to cut and fit, smooth enough to slide things in and out, yet stay in place and not bunch up. 

 

HIt me with what you know!

The cheapest and easiest thing I’ve found is freezer paper.   Easy to cut, lays flat, no bunching, and again, cheap.

I like the look of shelf liners but hate the hassle.  So I just go bare naked.

Plast-o-mat clear liner that I know you can get at Container Store and I think Bed Bath and Beyond has it as Wrap Brothers Lifeliner.

 

It lays flat, stays in place and cleans up great.  Cut it with scissors!  

 

We have some that is a lovely amber color and some that is clear.

I found shelf liner at Home Goods.  I bought 4 rolls of it.  You cut it to size.  It doesn't bunch up or movie around.  It can easiy be wiped up.

Check out Gorilla Grip, found on ebay and amazon.  Non stick and cheaper than Contact Grip.

I use contact grip and it works great. No sticky stuff to hold it down. It stays in place by itself. Comes in different colors also.

bet your excited cabinets are in! Seems like things are moving along!

 

I have the same cabinets so I know what you mean about "staining".  

 

I would have provided the link (big A) but know the rules.

 

I love this liner -- grips no glue and nothing sticks.  Easy to put in cabinets and wipes clean.

 

Comes in different width/lengths.  I used 20" wide since my bottom cabinets I did pot drawers & for lower kitchen cabinets.

 

Top cabinets used 12" wide.  

 

It comes in variety of patterns.  Cheaper in bulk but Lowe's, Home Depot, WM sell single rolls for $6-9/each.
