What is a Garage Clean Out?

A true garage clean out is more than throwing things away and sweeping up. With the help of professionals, it becomes a process of loading up large items, hauling away unwanted things, recycling, and disposing of them. The end result? More space for the items that mean the most to you. You may even be able to completely redesign your space!

Cleaning out a garage is a big job, and that’s why we offer our services. We help you with the heavy lifting, so you can focus on the fun part: deciding what to do with all that space.

How to Clean Your Garage

Garages are easy to clutter and hard to clean. If you are looking to take back your space, here are some helpful tips for a refreshing clean out.

Step 1: Start Surveying

Take stock of your garage. Ask yourself what you want to get rid of and what you want to keep. To do this, you may have to start moving some things out of the way. This way, you’ll get a better idea of what’s behind the clutter. As you go, consider those things you want to keep. Where could they go, or how might you reorganize them to save some space?

Throughout the surveying process, move and observe, think about setting some ground rules for what you keep. It can be hard to let things go. We may think, “Oh, this could be useful down the road.” While that may be true, how high are the chances? Is the item in question something you could easily replace, or are the true chances of using it very low? Work on eliminating as much as reasonably possible.

Step 2: Make a ‘Keep’ Pile

Of course, no one can tell you what you should keep; only you know. However, there are some garage cleaning guidelines you can use. Consider keeping:

• Items you have used recently or somewhat often
• Things that still work well without any repair
• Appliances and tools that are hard to find
• Things that are helpful now and in the future
• Items that have significant meaning

For the items you want to throw or donate, start removing them from the space and placing them out of the way. That way, they are easy to access when it’s time to haul them away. It may be just the start of your clean out, but seeing early changes will provide you with the encouragement to continue.

Step 3: Time to Toss

Once you have gone through and considered what to keep and what to toss, it’s time to follow through. Anything you’re not keeping is clutter. Go through that clutter and do a little more organizing; separate trash from anything you can donate or sell. You can use old bins or plastic bags to start organizing and packing these things up. Then, you can start throwing out anything small enough to fit into your garbage can.

Where can the Clutter Go?

It’s a good idea to make a list of where you can donate, sell, and toss your unwanted items. Local thrift stores and donation stations are always a good place to start. All it takes is a little research to find out who takes what and when. Remember that selling and donating large items and furniture sometimes requires an appointment. Plan accordingly.

As for the remainder of the clutter, where you throw it depends on the size, amount, and type of junk. If your garage clean out leaves you with stuff you cannot leave on the curb, you may have to rent a dumpster. This costs money and requires the proper amount of space.

Step 4: Hire Some Help

When you’re decluttering, tossing, and donating, hiring professional help is an ideal way to relieve stress and get the job done quicker. After all, if your garage really needs a deep clean, you have a lot of stuff. That’s exactly where VJR can step in. Here’s what to do:

Step 5: Deep Clean Your Garage

Once all the ‘junk’ is out of your garage, you can start to deep clean. It is a good idea to do this before you replace the items you have decided to keep.

Consider starting from the top. Dust and clean windows or anything else high up and work your way down. Move down to the cabinets and clean with gentle rags and spray. Scrub the walls with a sponge and dust the shelves. Finally, sweep and mop the floor.

Once you have finished your deep cleaning the next step is to put everything you kept back where it belongs. Or, perhaps you want to revamp the entire area with new flooring, wall paint, and shelving. No matter what, you now have a fresh, clean space.

Time to Organize Your Garage

Now that you have a clean place to start, you can begin to reorganize. You put in all that effort to clean it, so you want the new setup to be much easier to navigate. Don’t forget to make it easier to keep it clean!

An organized garage allows you to find the tool you need quickly and with zero frustration!

Organization Tips to Help keep your Garage Tidy:

• Install plenty of nice, sturdy shelves
• Use attractive storage containers
• Consider hanging items to maintain extra space on the floor
• Create cabbies for individuals and their things
• Plan for changes in season

It may seem like a lot of work, but it is worth it. If you keep your garage clean and organized, then you’ll never have to do a major cleaning again!
