Garage Organization: 4 Steps to Organizing and Cleaning Your Garage
Garage organization! Do you park your car in the garage? A garage’s main purpose is to protect vehicles from the outside elements, theft, and vandalism, but almost 1 in 4 Americans say their garage is too cluttered to even fit their cars inside.
We’re all a little guilty of decluttering our homes by throwing our junk into the garage. Clear the clutter and create more space for all your items, including vehicles, by following these simple steps.
Declutter and Purge
Before you can organize your garage, you have to get rid of the unnecessary items that take up your space. Decluttering can sometimes be a big project. Use these decluttering tips to help you work through your mess. First, decide what belongings are most important to you and then determine which activities in your life you wish you had more time and space for. Create a list of priorities to help get rid of items that are of lesser importance. Your home will instantly feel cleaner and more organized when you declutter and purge.
Clean Sweep
Do you neglect your garage when cleaning? Now that you’ve donated or thrown out the items that you don’t need, it’s time to do a deep clean. Sweep out the dirt, debris, rocks, and leaves that build up over time. Power wash the concrete and make sure all corners are free of cobwebs!
Think Vertically & Create A Storage Plan
After you have cleared and cleaned your garage, it’s time to start thinking vertically! Take advantage of how clean and organized your garage can look when you use wall space instead of the floor. Having extra room for your vehicles is also an added plus to storing items off the ground. Garage storage systems like cabinets, shelves, and overhead racks allow you to utilize walls and the ceiling to maximize your space. Get a plan together and choose which storage pieces will be best for your garage storage needs.
Assign Designated Areas
Furthermore, maintain order in your garage by creating specific spaces for items. Choose designated parts of your garage to keep camping, sports gear, bikes, skateboards, power tools and more. This will also allow you to quickly find items and replace them with ease.
Use your garage for its original purpose and get it organized. Start small by following these steps! Cleaning and organizing your garage does not have to be complicated. There are several options available that will help you to declutter your garage, leaving space for the activities that are important to you.
