Are you trying to stay organized? Ask Angi for tips on cleaning your garage

If your garage looks more like a black hole than useful storage space, it's time to make some changes.

Mallory Micetich, Home Care Expert at Ask Angi, shares some tips on how to make the most of your space.

"If you want to get the most out of your garage, start by developing a storage plan. I recommend measuring and drawing the space and then planning where you want to store different things. For example, you can organize different areas of your garage into different categories, such as tools, exercise equipment, or lawn care. Saving your items by category makes it easier to maintain and can help you find things faster," Micetich said.

Even the perfect organizational system can only go so far when you have too much stuff. Go through all the items in your garage and throw or donate anything you no longer need.

When you're done separating the two stacks, go through everything you save and find out what category it belongs to. After you've categorized all your items into bins, shelves, or compartments, label them to make them easier to find.

"Your garage stores a lot of important items, some of which can be quite heavy. Consider investing in sturdy metal shelving that will allow you to stack these heavier items. Hooks, wall storage or a workbench to organize the little things. Are you paying attention to your natural habits so the system is accessible regularly?'" Micetich said.

To stay organized, Ask Angi suggests creating a schedule to keep it that way. Your schedule will depend on how you use the space, so experiment and find something that works for you.

Micetich said: "If you're still not sure where to start, or if you're too busy to tend to your garage, consider hiring a professional organizer. A professional can help you find an organization system that's perfect for your specific needs and your specific garage. They will set you up for success so you can have an organized garage for years to come.

Keeping a clean and organized garage frees up time so you can focus on other things such as: B. Spending time with family or pursuing your hobbies.
