Keep Clothing So Fresh and So Clean

Drawer liners are wallpaper-like liners that one puts in their dressers (or anywhere they store clothing) to keep them fresh and clean. This lens will explore the benefits of drawer liners and point you to some of the best products.

More Than Wallpaper

The first time I saw drawer liners, I thought, "It's just a gimmick to sell more wallpaper!" So I decided to investigate, and it turns out that drawer liners do a lot to protect your clothing from bugs and coloration from old or overly-varnished wooden drawers.

(Unfortunately, drawer liners do NOT protect against ostriches.)

Benefits of Drawer Liners

  • Create a barrier between clothing and wooden drawers, protecting them from coloration.
  • Most are white or very light colors, thus preventing coloration from the liners themselves.
  • Most (if not all) liners are made of acid-free paper which prevents yellowing. Non acid-free paper can cause whites to turn yellow.
  • Most contain tiny amounts of tannin and clove oil, both of which discourage bugs from entering the drawers and destroying your clothes.
  • If you prefer, some are scented with essential oils (common scents are lavender, orange, rose, lemon) to keep your clothing smelling fresh.
