Plastic with tracks to fit the cabinet. They have that bumpy top surface. And there’re white stains on all of them–toothpaste maybe? Have tried everything I can think of and no result. Really I’d rather just clean them. ---

Try Magic Eraser? I’ve become a fan even though I thought they were a gimmick when they first came out. I’ve found them able to clean things regular cleaners can’t. They have a soft texture to fit around funny shapes and enough abrasive to get rid of stains. ---

Barkeeper’s Friend or Bon Ami is nice too. But always try the Magic Eraser first! They have a “bathroom” version which is larger, shaped differently and smells nicer than the regular one.
