Organizing Your Garage

Garages can by full of clutter and very disorganized.


~Start By Decluttering!
Put your items into piles or bins based on what you use if for, for example, put all your gardening tools together, all of your tools in one spot, and place all of your shovels and snow gear together. Do this with all of the items you have and if your not sure where to place something put it in a to-be-determined pile. If you find things that are broken throw them away, and if you have items that you no longer use - find a new home for them, either donate them or give them to a friend, or maybe even have a fall garage sale if you find many items that you no longer need.


~Put Everything In It's Place!
Now that you know what you've got, it's time to store these items somewhere. Cabinets, shelves, racks, hooks, and tool boxes are the perfect fix. You can go to a home supply store to buy these items if you don't already own them. Buy things that are useful for you and your needs.


~Take Care Of Your Tools!
If your tools are all over the garage or piled up on a shelf somewhere it's time to put them away! Your tool box/chest is the perfect spot for them. A peg board can be very useful for the tools that you may use often, such as hammers, a pliers, wrench, tire pressure gauges, or whatever else you use.


~Sweep It!
Before you put everything away sweep out all the dust and dirt that has accumulated over the months. If you have a vehicle that is leaking fluids use a product that will soak it up and then sweep that as well.


Now that your garage is looking nice a clean; put your things away!
