Question from Lisa
We are preparing to move into a new home which we have carefully designed to safe for our family with MCS. I’ve begun looking for options for lining the cabinets, drawers and shelves safely. I’m certain conventional contact paper is out of the question. My own brainstorming has come up with the short list of unbleached wax paper (but I fear it will slide around and tear easily) or Natural cork tiles (which is very expensive and I will need to verify with the manufacturer that they haven’t been green washed). Any other suggestions or ideas that you have would be GREATLY appreciated!

Readers, what do you use? I personally do not use shelf paper. In the old days, before contact paper, everyone used plain paper on their shelves, and held it down with tacks in the corner. My shelves are painted, and I leave them bare so they are easy to clean.
