As the weather warms up here in the Columbia River Gorge, it’s the perfect time to tackle that cluttered garage and transform it into a functional space you’ll love! Here are 5 expert tips to help you clean and organize your garage efficiently:
1 Start by decluttering: Clear the ground and tables by removing items and sorting through them later. Consider installing shelves to maximize vertical space and keep things off the floor.
2 Deep clean: Give all surfaces a thorough cleaning- walls, ceiling, tables – using a mixture of water and bleach. Sweep, vacuum, and scrub to ensure a fresh start.
3 sort and categorize: Make 4 piles- keep, sell, donate, or throw away. Divide the “keep” pile into categories for better organization.
4 Create zones: Divide your garage into zones based on accessibility and frequency of use. Label them so everyone knows where things belong and can maintain the organization.
5 Install storage solutions: customize your space with shelves, hooks, and other storage options that fit your needs. Put everything back in its place and make adjustments as necessary.
And remember, a clean garage isn’t just about aesthetics – it’s also about safety! Clean spaces are less likely to cause accidents and fire.
