Summer\u2019s here and what better time is there to clean out and organize your garage? There\u2019s no better time, that\u2019s the answer. You\u2019re going to want to park your car out of the sun – i.e. in the garage. You also need to know where your summer stuff is, like beach chairs and umbrellas. Wouldn\u2019t it be great to organize your garage? You see where I am going with this. Anyway, check out our guide to organizing that garage and then get started! What are you waiting for?<\/span><\/p>\n

The first step to this process is to completely empty your garage, and get everything outside into the driveway or onto your lawn. This includes junk, your car, other things you own\u2026 you get the idea. Then you should start to sort everything you\u2019ve just taken out into two piles, one for things that you want to keep and one for things that you\u2019ve been meaning to throw away or just forgot about. Throw those things away right now. Dispose of chemicals like paint safely, but just get it out of there forever.<\/span><\/p>\n

With your garage empty, you should sweep and vacuum the floor and dust the corners. If it\u2019s a nice day, you could even hose down the floor! If you\u2019re feeling super adventurous, consider applying an epoxy garage floor kit. It\u2019s a lot of work and a lot of waiting, but it\u2019s worth it if you\u2019re looking for a really serious makeover.<\/span><\/p>\n

With the space clean, it\u2019s time to take a critical look at your current storage solutions. If you don\u2019t have shelves or wall storage, consider getting some! It\u2019s a great space-saving hack to store things vertically. You can even store bikes on wall racks, which saves a TON of space.<\/span><\/p>\n

Finally, get everything back into your garage, organizing as you go. You\u2019ll probably spot some things that you thought you wanted to keep but are really junk that you can just go ahead and throw away. You don\u2019t need that in your life. When everything\u2019s back in place (or has found a new home), park your car back inside!<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
