What you’ll need for your garage cleaning spree
The items you’ll need are available in most stores. You can of course pick and choose what items work best for your garage cleaning needs! For a complete overhaul you’ll need some gloves, a broom, a dustpan, step ladders, garbage bags, microfibre cloths, a bucket of warm water with some liquid soap in it. You’ll possibly need a scrubbing brush, a mop and a duster. You can feel free to add more items, depending on your cleaning needs.
Step 1: Section off items as you go along
During the cleaning process, you’ll come across many items that you might not need anymore. So, you could divide the items into donating, throw away, and keep boxes or sections.Step 2: Work from the top to the bottom
It makes sense to want to start dusting the ceiling and rafters first since this dust and bits will end up falling down. Use brooms and dusters with long handles.Step 3: Sweep the debris that landed on the ground
Now that you’ve tackled the top, it’s time to get low and handle the floor. A quick sweep of the garage floor will get the debris and dust out of your way, and you’ll already start to see a positive difference with all that dust and spider webs gone.Step 4: Mop the floor
You can take the liberty of mopping the floor since you’ve already swept. There are many easy-to-use mops that could aid in this process. Feel like scrubbing? The choice is yours, but since the garage floors take a lot of foot and tire traffic, scrubbing would be hard work only to see the floors become dirty soon again.
Step 5: Tackle the windows and existing shelving
You can now clean the existing shelves and cabinets as well as the window. This will help prepare things for the next step.Step 6: Install vertical and wall shelving
A big thing to remember about organizing a garage is to get stuff off the floor. We could all use abundant floor space in the garage and with everything neatly tucked away against the walls, and on shelves, it makes the garage look much neater and organized.Step 7: Put all the items into designated areas
To maintain the organized state of your garage now and going forward, packing everything in preorganized destinations will keep things tidy. For example, set up a section to store the bicycles. You can set up a designated section for tools and equipment and carry on this way until everything has a place.Conclusion
Garage clean-up can be very intimidating. However, adding these simple steps into the routine could help you manage your tasks more efficiently. Soon you will have a neat and tidy garage that you’ll want to show off.
