Liner suggestion for cabinet

6 years ago
last modified: 6 years ago

This is my kitchen cabinet/island. I've just finished refacing it:



I would like to find a good liner for it. This is the type of liner I normally see in stores:



Is there another kind of liner one can recommend. I would like something that is water-proof and sturdy.

    Lots of choices from Amazon and Bed, Bath and Beyond. Here’s a general google search: https://www.google.com/search?q=shelf+liners&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&hl=en-us&client=safari

    4 1/2 years ago, we bought rolls of white variegated plastic liners for the kitchen, at BB&B, and cushiony woven liners for the bedroom dressers.

    You didn't ask my opinion about this, but are those plastic brackets in the back to hold the slides? Do you have any other options to hold the slides?

    Get rid of those nasty epoxy glides. All of that work, and to be left with those. SMH

    I like Duck Smooth Top EasyLiner.

    Yes, Duck has several liners that are great.

    I like Lifeliner. I like the tiny ridges/ribs that raise the glasses/dishes off the surface - even by such a small amount, it makes a difference in air circulation. I also like that it is easily wipeable with a sponge. Some of the cushier liners don’t wipe easily the way a smooth plastic does. It comes in 12”d x 25’l, or 24”d x 20’l.

    Costco sells larger rolls of the clear plastic stuff with the ridges that raises your stuff off the surface to allow for circulation. I think it's Contact brand but it's not sticky. Best value for the money by far if you need to do a whole kitchen. The amount you need adds up fast.

    Angel,

    I went to my local Dollar Tree but couldn't find yoga mats. :)

    Darbuka,

    I'll sift through the link you provided. Thanks.

    Julie,

    The island came with those plastic brackets. My regular kitchen cabinets have metal brackets. :)

    Live-wire-oak,

    I'm too lazy to change those glides. :)

    Mo & Kaytee,

    I'll have to look into these Duck EasyLiners. Never heard of them! After googling, it looks like Lowes has them. I'd like to touch one before I bought it. Thanks for the suggestion!

    Shannon,

    I'll check out Lifeliner at my Bed Bath & Beyond. Thanks!

    Crcollins,

    Unfortunately, I don't have a Costco membership. But thanks, anyway.

    Try a Dollar Store, Not Dollar Tree.

    Angel,

    Do you mean Family Dollar? :)

  • 6 years ago

    Yes, try there.

  • 6 years ago

    Angel,

    I finally made it to a Family Dollar but they did not have it.

    Could it have been a Dollar General? That's the only other alternative I can think of. Your suggestion was definitely very intriguing. :)

    Were the mats you were thinking of made of plastic or were they like an actual rug?

  • 6 years ago

    They are made of pastic/rubber not "rug" as in pile.


    The other suggestion that I have used is a "fatigue mat" also available at "Dollar" type stores.

    It is blue.

    It's quite thick and would be waterproof. Just cut to size.


    Another item I have used is those mats that are supposed to go in the bottom of the

    bathtub to prevent slipping. I have that in some of my drawers also.


    Think outside the box when looking for a liner.


    I tried to get a photo of the above 2 types of items, but don't have a cell phone

    and my camera did not take a good photo, they were too dark.


    Good luck, keep us posted.

  • 6 years ago

    Got my camera working, something got adjusted without my knowledge, so here are a couple of pictures. The blue is the fatigue mat and it's quite thick and would be waterproof.

    The white is the bathmat. Those spots on the picture are


    crumbs. This is the

    drawer that has crackers and cereal so needs to be taken out and shook. Hope this helps.

    Hi Angel,

    Thank you for the interesting photos. However, I found a solution yesterday which is very similar to yours.

    After all the back and forth, I finally found something (it was a suggestion by a Good Samaritan):

    https://www.amazon.com/Gorilla-Grip-Non-Adhesive-Absorbent-Waterproof/dp/B07X7H745C/ref=sr_1_1?dchild=1&keywords=gorilla%2Bgrip%2Boriginal%2Bpremium%2Bunder%2Bsink%2Bmat%2Bliner%2B24x30%2Binch%2Bnon-adhesive&qid=1590859937&sr=8-1&th=1

    I think this is a simple but effective way to answer my concerns. :)

    Thanks to everyone who responded to my thread. I really appreciated your help and patience with my inexperience.

    Thanks for the update. I like that the mat you found is washable.

  • 6 years ago

    I use the rolls of rubbermaid nonstick liners with a pebbly texture cut to fit
    Now, under my kitchen sink and in utulity closet I get an inexpensive rubber backed doormat. When it needs cleaning I throw in the washer. The cheerful designs make it a brighter spot when searching for the sponge trying to escape to the back.

  • 6 years ago

    Those darn sponges are always trying to escape ! lol
