Wire shelving is a popular pantry organization solution, and the Gorilla Grip wire shelf liner helps make the surface even more usable by preventing items from falling between the wires. These shelf liners come in clear, colored and patterned options, and they’re made of a heavy-duty polypropylene that’s thicker than many other liners and can support heavy objects. They even have notched corners to help keep them in place on your shelves, and the waterproof material will capture all sorts of stains and spills.
Unlike many other liners, this product comes in precut sizes to match common shelf dimensions. This means you’ll have to measure your shelving in advance to make sure you’re getting the proper size.

FAQs
Why should I use a shelf liner?
Shelf liners offer several benefits. They can prevent objects on your shelves, such as dinnerware and glassware, from sliding around on the shelf, and many liners also help protect your shelves from stains, ultimately making your pantry or fridge easier to clean.
How do you keep shelf liners in place?
Many of the best shelf liners have non-slip backings, which helps to keep them in place, even if you pull an object across the shelf. However, if you’ve noticed your shelf liners are moving around, use double-sided tape to keep them in place.
How do you remove adhesive shelf liners?
If you need to remove adhesive shelf liners, you’ll want to heat up the material using a blow dryer, which helps soften the adhesive. From there, use a putty knife to peel up the liner. You can also spray the underside with a little water to help break the bonds.
