Things To Keep In Mind While Organizing Your Garage

November 25, 2022 by Rick Scully

Understanding the ways to organize a garage will help you declutter the space effortlessly. A day or two dedicated to clearing out and organizing the garage can help you take control of clutter so all your tools and gear fit neatly in one place. Are you ready to start cleaning your garage? Just keep on reading this blog post.

Have a comprehensive plan before you begin

A lot of things can happen inside of a garage. So, your initial focus should be to restore order. The experts at Garage Tailors suggest starting with a goal in mind. Do you need easy access to sports gear, or does your garage need to double as a storage space? Create a list of everything you would like to accomplish. You can even sketch out a rough plan of the final result. Then open the doors, back out the cars, and begin!

Clean the floor

The initial step of garage organization is to give the floor a good once-over with a broom or shop vacuum. Look out for any nails or other small items, oil, or chemical stains and any indication of furry or winged creatures that may have taken up residence in your garage. Once the workspace is clear, you will be ready to start sorting.

Organize the garage into zones

Garage specialists advise homeowners to pull everything out of the space and sort into zones to help you take inventory. A driveway is an ideal place for this. However, if there is not enough room, work on the garage in zones and declutter slowly. You will want to begin by grouping like items with like items. This may include things such as car supplies, sports equipment, and tools.

Think of zones like departments in a store, such as the tools section and the garden area. This will help you differentiate where each item “lives.” You can think as small or as big as you need to with this zone concept. You should also toss out anything that you know is trash and divide the rest of the items into two categories – keep and donate.

Plan garage storage

Once you have everything sorted, assess the garage storage space and begin placing items in their proper homes. Here are a few ways to create more storage space in the garage:

a. Utilize vertical space to store bikes and other large items.
b. Use what you have or purchase the right products to complete your space.
c. Make sure dangerous items – such as chemicals and tools – are stored in a locked cabinet,
especially if children are in the house.

Keep in mind that you should take stock of the items you plan to store in the garage before buying an organization system. Take a conservative approach and start with some basic organizers, such as shelving, then expand out as you see fit.

Maintain garage organization

The final step is to maintain your new setup by tidying up as often as you need to, whether that is seasonally, monthly, or even weekly. Garages are often high-traffic areas, so the more frequently you clean and organize this space, the less time it will take. A good rule of thumb is to reorganize your garage twice per year.

Understanding how to clean a garage will ensure that your space will look its best year-round. Are you looking for a specialist to transform your garage for more practicality and ample storage space? Contact Garage Tailors.
