Spring & Fall Organizing Tips

 Spring/Fall Cleaning Tips  

As the seasons change so do your garage organization and storage needs.  For a quick transition utilize a system that matches your family's changing lifestyle.   

The process does not have to take forever.  With a little planning and the right system, patio furniture is away and the shovels are out.

fashionably fast Clean up

  • Organize for your lifestyle
  • Get real and give
    away stuff
  • Pick a specific spot for everything   
 

The entire family can chip in for one hour and you will have a clean, safe room ready for the snow or sunshine.  Assign each helper a specific area of the garage for the seasonal clean up.  The focus will make the project move faster and everyone won't be bumping into each other. 

So go ahead, take that clean up project on or call GarageTek and let us take care of it for you.

eight steps to seasonal bliss

  • Clean Up and Out:  arrange items you want to keep into separate piles and donate items you no longer need.  
  • Create a Family-Friendly Design:  determine what kind of cabinets, containers and hooks will best store your family possessions and place kids' items within their reach  
  • Rearrange as Needed:  select a versatile garage organization and storage system that can change with your needs.  
  • Free Up Floor Space:  keep as many items off the floor as possible to avoid any damage, prevent accidents and make seasonal cleaning easy.  
  • Mark the Spot:  hang shelves and keep storage containers labeled.  
  • Place Within Arm's Reach:  keep items you will need for the season in the area you use them, such as shovels near exit to garage.  
  • Use All Available Space:  Once-a-year items such as holiday decorations and lawn furniture should be stored out of the way in areas like over the garage door.    
  • Hose it Down:   The right garage system should allow for seasonal power washing to avoid tracking the dirt from the garage into the house.
