Cover shelves with shelf liners to protect surfaces from scratches, spills, and stains, while also adding a touch of style and easy-to-clean functionality to your linen closet. Since they come in varying widths and lengths and can be cut to size, you can easily customize them to fit your shelves. They are the perfect solution for storing extra toiletries, cleaning items, or anything you don’t want accidentally spilling and leaking onto other items in your linen closet.

Make sure you can find exactly what you need when you need it. Labeling everything is particularly helpful in shared spaces or households so that everyone can easily locate items and return them to their designated place. Go a step further and upgrade your boring, basic labels with stylish, easily customizable ones that add a personal touch to your organization system.

Prevent mildew and musty odors by making sure that linens are completely dry before storing them in the closet. Make sure to rotate linens regularly to prevent them from becoming stale and leave space between items for air to circulate. Consider placing activated charcoal or baking soda in your linen closet to reduce humidity and absorb odors.
