Organizing Your Garage on a Slow Day

Ran out of things to do this spring? Maybe it’s a slow day and you want to rest from all the outdoor activities you’ve been doing so far. You decided you’re just going to stay at home and chill. You lie on the couch and look for a Netflix series to watch but you’ve already seen everything you’re interested in devouring. You’ve already cleaned your room more than thrice already since the spring season started. No one’s in town for you to visit and hang out with. So what else is left for you to do? Why not check other areas of your house that need a thorough cleaning or maybe a major upgrade? Perhaps you’ve been putting off cleaning your garage because it’s very overwhelming for you to even look at or decide to start organizing. Well, now is the designated day. You have nothing better to do and you could use your free time before your next scheduled trip is bound to happen. You need to take out everything in your garage first. When you take out your items, consciously divide them into keep, sell, and donate piles. This will make the cleaning process easier when you have to return everything you took out from the garage. Once the garage is completely vacant, thoroughly clean it from the ceiling to the floor. Check every nook and corner for any possible repairs that you have to do. Dust off all the dirt and grime accumulated throughout the years. Check if anything needs repainting or additional insulation. After a thorough inspection and deep cleaning, you could hold a garage sale to make money out of items you don’t use anymore. Donate those that weren’t sold. Now before you return your keep pile, you should consider installing smart storage solutions so that everything will be nice and organized. FlexiMounts have different storage options that will help maximize the space of your garage. Using the vacant space of your ceiling or walls, you may install overhead storage racks or wall shelves. Here are options available at the FlexiMounts’ site:
