Nassau County Business Directory Offers Five Tips To a Clean Garage & Workshop

Many Nassau County Business Directory users hit us with basic questions. One frequently submitted is to how to clean or keep your garage clean. Our staff has put our heads together to come up with the most frequently mentioned tips that our homeowners said helps them to keep things straight in this space. Some responses shocked us as they said they did not even have the ability to get a car into the garage so even our members can benefit. Here are the top answers from our compilation:

1. Use a Pegboard, possibly from some other project or laying around your garage and attach it to the wall. This could be used to store your tools. This takes a bit of planning to maximize space. One suggestion was to take a marker and outline the edge of the tool so that everyone who has access to this area can know where to return the tool for its proper location.

2. Old jars such as from vegetables, pickles or even baby food can help to organize smaller items such as nails, screws, etc. You may want to save plastic containers from items like coffee instead of glass but these mostly are not see through like glass.

3. Take an old door to make a work bench rather than spending money on a big bench. Mount it to saw horses or build the base with some extra lumber. Most people have extra wood from other projects. Make use of it and clear up space by using this wood.

4. Use an old fishing box to organize smaller items. This makes them portable when you need to use them around the house and the multi-level trays these tackle boxes have do make your work area much more organized and clean.

5. Use old kitchen cabinets, bathroom or pantry cabinets in the garage to store larger items. Many people throw these away and they can be reused in a garage for supplies, paint, tools and other items.
