Spring Cleaning for Your Broken Arrow, OK. Garage...

At the arrival of Spring, many of us think of Spring Cleaning. Spring is a great time to clean out the Garage. It is not too hot, not too cold and spending time outside for a few hours can be very productive. DIYNetwork.com has a great article (“Tips for Cleaning the Garage”) with very handy tips on how to clean your garage. Read on for some great information that will have your garage clean and organized in no time.

  1. Get rid of unnecessary items. Start by moving everything out of the garage and grouping like items together. Get rid of the things that you know you don’t need. Remember to check with your trash company or city sanitation department when disposing of chemicals, batteries, oils or solvents.
  2. Repair items that need to be repaired or put them in a labeled box to deal with later. If you haven’t dealt with it within a year, get rid of it.
  3. Clean the floor, ideally when the temperature is between 50-75 degrees. Use cleaning products to remove stains.

Also, remember some helpful general information
  • Remember there are lots of great organization tools for the garage if you have the money to spend. If you don’t, that’s okay. Get creative, old boxes, buckets, jars, and cans can be great ways to organize various items for free.
  • Take time regularly to maintain organization in your garage. A few minutes of work a week or month can prevent hours of work each year.
  • Sweep out your garage once every month and do a thorough cleaning and organizing each year.
