Use EasyLiner

The very first thing you have to do to keep things from falling through wire shelving is to use EasyLiner!

I love using clear liners on our wire shelving. The reason I love using the clear liner is that it fits perfectly on the wire rack and doesn’t slide.

Plus it is really durable. It is thicker making the surface smooth.

There are other options for liner as well. Not everyone loves the clear liner as it can be a little wabbly.

The smooth top liner is great because it gives you more durability.

Which is why I use that in a lot of spaces like linen closets and clothing closets.

Cut To Size

Cut your EasyLiner to the size of your wire shelves.

I suggest that you make sure your scissors are really sharp so that you can get a clean cut on the liner. If you don’t have a scissor sharpener, just cut some tin foil with your scissors! It totally sharpens them.

Once the EasyLiner is cut, place on top of the wire shelves. Yes, it is that easy!

Add Items To Wire Shelves

Once the liner is on each of the shelves, simply put items back on the shelves. For us, I added EasyLiner to our cleaning closet.

I made sure that the items were lined up like you would find at a grocery store. The reason being is that everything will line up nicely on the wire shelves so you can find things easily.

But you can use this strategy for any wire shelving unit.

So we used them in our bedroom closet shelves. And we used them in our pantry shelving.
