How to Install a Kitchen Drawer Liner
One problem that many people run into when they are cleaning out a drawer is how easily it can get messy. Dust, among other things, can collect in the bottom of the drawer, creating an unattractive, potentially sticky mess. Using drawer liners can help make that cleaning process easier, as well as protect the drawer from staining. Installing drawer liners is a simple process that requires just a little bit of planning. Does this Spark an idea?

Purchase the drawer liner of your choice. Non-adhesive is easier to install and replace later on. Make sure that the minimum dimensions of the roll of drawer liner exceed the largest measurement you have taken.

4
Cut the drawer liner to the measurements of the inside of each drawer. Use a ruler to ensure a straight edge and accurate measurement. If necessary, cut a little larger than you think you will need. It can always be trimmed later.

Set the now-cut portions in the bottom of each drawer to ensure a proper fit.

6
Trim the cut portions to fit if necessary.

7
Peel back the adhesive backing from the cut portions of drawer liner if you purchased self-adhesive ones. If you purchased non-adhesive ones, skip this step.

8
Press the edge of the drawer liner against the rear of the inside of the drawer.

9
Lay the liner down, moving slowly forward.

10
Smooth the liner out as you lay it down to avoid trapping air bubbles. If any air bubbles occur, use the edge of the ruler to move them to the edge and smooth out the liner.
