Garage Spring Cleaning Checklist

Do you have visible stains on your garage floor? Is it so cluttered that you can’t find your toolkit or park your car? The mild weather and fresh breezes of spring make it an ideal time of year to clean and air out your garage. Cleaning your garage can seem daunting at first, especially if you’ve been putting it off for years because you’ve been using it as a major storage unit. Fortunately, we’re here to offer advice on how to clear out your garage.

Cleaning Supplies for the Garage

Prepare all the tools and materials you’ll need before you begin cleaning. That way, when you’re halfway through cleaning your garage, you won’t have to make an unplanned trip to the store or hunt your house for materials. You’ll need the following items:

• A Checklist for cleaning
• A stepping stool
• Masks for the face
• Gloves
• Garbage bags
• A vacuum cleaner
• baking soda
• Soap in liquid form
• a brush for cleaning
• Clean towels and a nonabrasive sponge
• A bucket of water
• Options for storage

A hose or power washer could help, but it isn’t necessary. If you must use a power washer, keep it away from your garage door. The pressure of a power washer, even on low settings, might damage the door.

You might want to check into garage storage options if you have a lot of junk to reorganize. Shelves, cupboards, and pegboards are all good storage alternatives, but they’re simplest to put in when the garage is empty. Another alternative is to utilize plastic bins or storage boxes, which can be especially beneficial if you plan on donating any unwanted goods once you’re done.

Making a spring-cleaning list for your garage will also help you keep organized once you get started. An itemized list will prevent you from missing a step and will make it easier to resume where you left off if you need to take a break. Also, don’t forget to take breaks as needed. Cleaning your garage can take a lot of time and effort, but the results will be well worth the effort. Staying motivated by crossing stuff off your to-do list while you work is a terrific method to do so!
