As the year rolls onward, you may be wondering what you should do differently this year. What can you do to provide yourself with time and piece of mind in the future? How about a deep cleaning for your garage? It may seem like a hassle, but organizing your things will save you a ton of time (and not as many headaches) in the new year! So, how can you give your garage the deep cleaning that it may desperately need? Let the Orlando garage storage system specialists at Garage Design Works give you some advice!

Pull everything into the driveway.

This requires some time, but it’s surely worth it. It may seem productive to tackle things one spot at a time, but this won’t give you an accurate picture of what you have and what you actually need to keep. Make sure to dust off or wash anything that has acquired grime or dust.

Sort what you need/don’t need.

There’s a time where you must say, “Do I actually use this?”, and that time is now. If an item is broken, rusted, or expired, toss it immediately. Check the dates on car maintenance items; most people are unaware that some car fluids expire after a period of time, and keeping these fluids can create a fire hazard. Always recycle your things correctly, and make sure to contact your local waste management service to inquire about how to dispose of chemicals safely.

Get the right storage.

If you don’t invest in an organization system, you may end up in the same predicament next year as well. You can change that by investing in an organization system that will allow your garage to stay clean all year long. Whether it’s tools, toys, or boxes of old memorabilia, an organization system can organize all these things and help you keep your garage clean and useful.

It’s important to keep in mind that without the investment of an organization, you may end up in the same situation next year. Don’t let your hard work go to waste. Check out our organizational systems and contact the Orlando garage storage system specialists at Garage Design Works at 407-447-8890.
