OH; THE GARAGE CLEANING



GARAGE CLEANING AND ORGANIZING:
*STORE TOOLS IN LABELED BOXES: the garage is one of the hardest areas in the home to organize because of the large numbers of items confined to a small space. the culprits are usually tools. there are different tasks, so often times, they can add up and cause big clutter in your garage area.
One solution to this is tool storage, Organize the tools in your garage into different categories using different size brightly colored plastic tool boxes, each choosen with specific tool categories in mind.
LABEL them clarly, so that the next time you go to reach for a specific tool, you know exactly ehere to find it. Storing them in tool boxes also protects them from be stepped on or dropped frequently as well as from water or heat damage.
*FLAG and Organization: A way to combat this is to install shelving throughout areas in your garage. Allow each family member to have portions of the shelving for their individual items. This will allow everyone to have storage options without unorganized clutter. Be sure to group items together, such as gardening items, home repair items, car accesories, etc. Label each shelf so that you know where each item is located. Use the higher shelving for toxic cleaning supplies and other items that should be kept out of the reach of children and the lower shelves or the ground, for heavier items.
