After years of using your garage, you have
likely accumulated a lot of unnecessary and unneeded items. It is easy for this
to happen because like the quote “out of sight, out of mind” we typically
forget the things we do not see every day. Going through your garage and
organizing it will give you peace of mind and even more space for things like
your car!
●
Remove Everything
This is usually the most
difficult part because it takes the most effort to start. After you start
removing everything from your garage, you will see how good it feels to see the
walls again as well as everything else you had forgotten. This will most likely
take you a few hours just to get everything removed so make sure you give
yourself enough time.
●
Clean Everything
You will most likely
encounter a few spiders and bugs in your garage, so make sure you are using pesticides
and proper cleaning equipment to keep them out. You will also want to wipe down
all the walls and really clean your floors to make sure your garage gets a
fresh start.
●
Install Organizers
This step is not a
necessity, but it will help you create an organized atmosphere in your garage. You
will want to start with solid cabinets,
shelving, and matching totes. These will help you get everything off the floor
and onto the walls. You will also find space for seasonal items, random tools
that were forgotten, auto cleaners, and even your sports equipment.
●
Organize
This is my personal
favorite part as you get to organize all your items and make your garage looks
amazing again. Make sure to designate each area for your supplies so you don’t
run into disorganization again.
After each step is
completed you will simply need to maintain your organized garage by running
through it a few times a week. You are now on your way to an organized, amazing
garage!
