Clean Your Garage Door ProperlyAfter living in a home for a number of years, chances are your garage has accumulated a significant amount of clutter. All this clutter easily becomes an inconvenience and a possible risk since you have to walk into your garage every day on your way to your car. That’s when you realize that perhaps it’s time to organize things.

But where to start?

 Today we have brought you some easy tips that are sure to make any garage easier and safer to use and enjoy.

  1. Setup time and enlist support: set aside a time to tackle the job and enlist support. Many hands work quicker than just two.
  2. Move everything out: designate space on the driveway or within the garage and divide it into four categories: Items you will donate; those you will sell; things to keep; and, items you will toss.
  3. Decide what to keep: consider recycling, donating, giving away or selling as many items as possible, you will probably have lots of things that need to be thrown out. For any broken things, ask what the chances are of getting around to fixing it. Anything else is worth keeping.
  4. Dispose of items and hazardous materials: ask neighbors or friends if they have a use for any materials you intend to toss. Donate items that are in good repair to charity. Lastly, check with your municipality for solid and hazardous waste disposal programs availability.
  5. Storage: If you have exciting new plans for your garage space, you may need to create functional storage spaces for those great items you choose to keep. Consider attaching space-saving systems to walls or even the ceiling. A great idea for this is to use wall-mounted storage racks to raise bicycles, recreation or sport equipment and a range of other possessions up off the ground.
