Garage Clean-Out: 7 Steps to Reclaim Your Space
Your car has forgotten what the garage looks like. Here's a 7-step plan to win the space back.
By Matt from Lanky Services ·
Empty, sort, decide
Pull everything out, sort into keep, donate and rubbish, and be honest, if you have not used it in two years, it is probably rubbish. Group like with like so you can see what you actually have.
Deal with the rubbish in one go
Broken tools, old paint tins, timber offcuts, dead appliances and boxes of who-knows-what pile up fast. Book a rubbish removal and clear it all in one visit rather than a dozen tip runs.
Set it up to stay clear
Once it is empty, add shelving or hooks and give everything a home. Sweep it out and enjoy actually parking in there again.
