Few people actually use their garage for its intended purpose, i.e., storing their vehicle. Instead, most of us will use it to store just about everything else. Though the idea may fill you with dread, we are here to show you just how you can declutter and give your garage a deep cleaning.

Here is a step-by-step guide on how you can break the process down into manageable steps and get the job done right. Of course, another route would be to hire a junk removal company to get the job done quickly and easily. But, before you decide, go ahead and check out these steps to help make the best choice for you.

Set Aside the Time

The first step is to set aside enough time to get the job done. Remember that though decluttering may sound easy on the surface, it is best to make a conservative estimate of how much time it will take. Chances are it is likely to take a lot more time than you expect, and you don’t want to quit halfway and put finishing the job off.

However, you may also take a look at just how much junk you have to get rid of and decide to call the professionals to haul it away. Particularly when you have a habit of hoarding things you don’t really need, it is better to have someone else dispose of all the junk. This can make it a lot easier and less stressful.

Empty Everything Out

The best way to get started on cleaning is to completely empty everything out onto the driveway. This will show you just how much space you have been wasting and make it a lot harder to give up before completing the job. Lastly and most importantly, it will make the process of dividing everything up and judging whether or not it will stay a lot easier.

Give the Garage a Thorough Cleaning

Now that the space is completely clear, it is time to give it a thorough cleaning. It is best to get this done before the stuff that will remain goes back inside. This can certainly be a difficult job, but it is definitely worth getting done to make sure that you can truly enjoy your newly freed-up space. However, if you hire a junk company, they will generally do this step saving you a lot of time and bother.

Organize Everything

Now that everything is outside and the garage is clean, you can begin dividing all of the stuff you emptied out on the driveway into three categories: the things you want to keep, the things you can donate or sell, and the junk you will throw away. Try to only put the things you will keep back in the garage to avoid the temptation to keep things you won’t need.

Final Thoughts

Now you’re done, and your garage is clean! With all that extra space and no guilt of keeping all that clutter around, leaving your garage an unusable mess, you will definitely find that any time it took was well spent. Now you can use your garage for anything you want, whether it is storing your vehicle, using it as an extra room, or continuing to use it for storage. You have the space to do it.
