19 Ways to Use Shelf & Drawer Liner All Around the House Shelf and drawer liner – as the name implies – is great for lining shelves and drawers. In your dish cabinets, shelf liner protects the shelves from nicks and scratches, and in the pantry shelf liner keeps shelves free of stains from food leaks and spills.
