Three Easy Steps & Useful Tips Of Laying Shelf Liner Flat
Preserve the kitchen cabinets or any of the wooden furniture with shelving shelf liners. Any types of shelf liners will help to prevent the moisture from the glasses, mugs, and flatware from damaging the wooden cabinets, as well as also, will protect the shelving from the general wear and tear. Laminate fabric liners are very easy to install and also need minimal upkeep, besides that they are available in bright colors and many patterns.
- Remove all contents from the shelf, it can be the kitchen items or books or any other items. Wipe down the shelf with the help of a clean rag and the all-purpose cleaner, like vinegar and the water cleaner. Use the 1/4 cup of vinegar for every cup of the water and then pour the mixture in a spray bottle. If the shelf is in the cabinet then keep the cabinet doors open until the shelves are completely dry before heading to the process.
- Measure each of the shelves and then note down the measurements on a piece of paper. The next step is to cut the liner exactly according to the measurements. If required, use a piece of the scrap paper to cut the exact shelf size as a tracer for the liner.
- Place the strips of the double-sided tape inside the cabinets before placing the liner. Use the hands to smooth out the liner as needed, with particular attention to all the corners. Double-taped liners adhere well to shelving, making a more stable as well as flat floor for a shelf that is very easy to clean.
