How to Line Dresser Drawers

If you want to keep your clothes as fresh and new looking as possible, you should line your dresser drawers. Lined drawers preserve the clothes better, because there is no risk of snags from wood or nails. The liners also keep the clothes cleaner and sometimes also smelling better, if the liners are scented.
