How fun is this idea submitted by It’s an Organized Chaos? She takes these fabulous plastic placements she found at Target and lines her refrigerator with them…
Fridge Mats Tutorial
How cool that she lined the refrigerator door shelves, too?!
Easy cleaning, and adds a fun pop of color!
They look brilliant and what a great idea x
Having just cleaned all the shelves in my fridge the other day..I think this is a great idea! 🙂
Okay, things like this make me think, WHY DID I NEVER THINK OF THIS?? Thanks for sharing! I absolutely LOVE the idea 😀
Me too! I never would have thought of this lol
Great idea super cute and fun.
Cool! I need to do this.
i think he was pulling your leg for lack of a better answer for you. Really there would be no way that a plastic mat on non-porous glass COULD cause less circulation. The glass shelf it’s self is a barrier to circulation. a mat couldn’t add to that in any way unless your fridge had magically porous glass that no one else has. Maybe you could get a second opinion from another fridge professional? On another note, Gonna do this come friday for sure!!! Cuteness and I won’t mind removing the mats to rinse instead of the shelves every time for sure.
i hate to be a downer but when i had my shelves lined and then experienced some challenges with it, the repairman said i had caused the fridge to not function properly due to lack of proper airflow. FYI. ck with others to verify but when we got rid of the shelf liners the challenges went away. He said i could have cmpletely ruined the fridge.
Thank you so much for this post. I want to let you know that I posted a link to your blog in Creative Busy Bee Craft Inspirations, under the Page 1 post on Sep. 06, 2012. Thanks again.
Does it make your fridge mold when something spills? I’m just thinking about doing it but wonder about maybe meat or milk spilling in the fridge. Is it easy to clean? I am a fridge freak! I bleach my fridge down every 2 weeks. Thanks!
What a great idea! It would be so much easier to clean by pulling out a plastic mat instead of the entire shelf. Although, I would wipe down the shelf with a little bleach on a rag but it’s still easier than pulling out a whole shelf and washing it in the sink.
Awesome idea! !
Love this idea! But wondering where you got the drink dispenser?
So cute! One question…do the spills get under the mat and make for more clean-up?
I bought the pitcher at target as well.
I’ve been doing this for years. I use the non-skid rug mats. But this is a great make-over. Fun color!
LOVE the pop of color – however, it blocks the light in my fridge 🙁
I did this today…but it didn’t turn out as nice as yours. I have a french door fridge, with the freezer on the bottom. The shelves are wider than in the side-by-side so I ended up with an inch or so gap on each side of the mat, so it doesn’t cover the entire shelf. But it still looks nice and will end up making my fridge easier to clean so I’m still counting it as a win. Thanks for the idea!
where do i find this kind of material clear plastic like??? I dont want contact paper I LOVE THIS I LOVE RED I WANNA DO THIS LOVE THIS IDEA!!!!!!!
I just these mats today ..they were on sale in my local target for $0.68.Exited to do this weekend.
Great idea. I’m going to use it.
Are they just place mats like for your dining table?
you can get vinyl at a fabic store by the yard
I’m looking for something this weekend! I just spent yesterday cleaning red Gatorade and leaked ketchup off my fridge shelves…what an awesome idea!!! ESPECIALLY with a 12-year-old son!
I love this idea! so much better than lining the fridge with saran wrap (another idea i saw on pinterest) because this is so much easier to install inside the fridge 🙂 and take out to clean!!
thanks for sharing
I used a roll of shelf liner – a thicker grip style, not the contact paper type..
great idea…and I have a roll of shelf liner in my pantry right now. It’s not the prettiest color, but it will do the job.
Love it, great idea
This is a really clever idea!
Love this idea – thanks!
i did this several years ago but used floral oilcloth..i even have food quotes done with vinyl stickers..it still makes me smile when i open my fridge..nothing without joy!!!
Catherinelizabeth id love to see a photo of your liner! It sounds very original 😊
Almost excited to clean out the fridge I’m on my way to the Dollar Tree to find me some placements.
