1. Declutter:
- Remove any items that don't belong in the garage and place them in their proper storage areas.
- Sort through tools, equipment, and other items and decide what to keep, donate, sell, or dispose of.
2. Sweep or Vacuum the Floor:
- Start by sweeping or vacuuming the floor to remove dirt, dust, cobwebs, and debris.
- If the floor is particularly dirty, you may want to use a broom and dustpan or a shop vacuum with a brush attachment for better cleaning.
3. Wash the Floor:
- For a thorough cleaning, wash the floor with a mixture of warm water and a degreaser or all-purpose cleaner.
- Use a mop or a deck brush to scrub the floor, paying special attention to greasy spots or stains.
4. Organize and Store Items:
- Use storage shelves, cabinets, pegboards, or toolboxes to organize and store items neatly and efficiently.
- Label shelves and containers so that you can easily find what you need.
5. Clean Windows and Doors:
- Clean the interior and exterior of garage windows and doors using a glass cleaner or a mixture of water and vinegar.
- Use a microfiber cloth to avoid streaks and smudges.
6. Maintain Your Garage:
- Keep the garage clean regularly to prevent dirt and clutter from accumulating.
- Use a damp cloth or a wet/dry vacuum to clean up minor messes.
- Sweep the floor on a weekly or bi-weekly basis to keep the garage neat.
