On the View tab, select the check box next to Gridlines. Select it again to turn them off. 

Gridlines are light gray lines that, unlike Borders, appear between all cells on a worksheet. They are either all on, or all off. If you're not sure if they're on or off, move to an empty area of your worksheet and toggle the setting. 

For info on Borders, see Add or remove borders on cells.
