Spring is here and in fact, it’s almost gone. That means summer is quickly approaching and if you’ve been putting off your spring cleaning, we’re here to tell you to knock that off and get to it. One of those to-dos that we want to focus on this week is cleaning out your garage and how to keep it that way. So, sit back, relax, and let us tell you all about cleaning out your garage and how to keep it that way!

First things first, we need to clean out your garage. Seriously, everything that has made your garage its home, remove it. This is a time to get rid of things you’ve been holding onto for years or find items a new home if you plan on keeping them. A golden rule is to make three designated piles for your items. One is a keep. A second is a toss. And lastly, your third pile is for items you plan to recycle. If you’re debating on tossing an item, think to yourself, have I used this item in the last six months? If not, toss.

Now that everything is finally removed from your garage – it’s time to get down and dirty into the cleaning portion of this blog. Spend some time cleaning the floor, the shelves, under any benches, the ceiling, gosh if you can clean it – just do it! I get that this might be a long, annoying process but you’ll thank us in the end. Bonus! Having a clean garage will make the things you own look much better and newer. And let’s be honest, who wants their BMW sitting is a dusty garage? No one.

Moving onto the organization. This is a vital part of keeping your garage looking like a well-kept, put together garage that you won’t be ashamed of. There are many options for your organizational issues. Choose how you want to organize your items and stick to the plan you set. Storage shelving, workbench, cabinets, wall or ceiling racks – choose what’s best for you and install. Personally, we like racks because you can get your items stored out of the way yet still able to see where they are.

So, are you ready to get to it? Once you’ve upgraded your garage, stop in to see us to upgrade your vehicle!
