1. Plan ahead and arrange what you will need before you start. Have all of your cleaning supplies and storage containers readily available. Having to leave repeatedly for what you need will only make the process longer.

2. Do not be afraid to throw things away. If something is broken and you have not missed it, throw it away. If you come across old toys your children do not use, make arrangements to donate the toys to children who need them.

3. Assign jobs to every family member. Smaller children can help by sorting toys, and older children can help with lifting and moving objects. If you have an infant or toddler, make arrangements to have another family member or friend watch that child for the day.

4. If you have quite a few items that are in good condition but you do not need or want, make plans to hold a garage sale the day after organizing your garage. This way, you will have a firm deadline and will not be tempted to keep a few items.

5. Group your belongings by category. Keep all of your gardening supplies in one area, and your children’s toys in another. This will help you be able to find everything you need easily. 6. Holiday decorations can take up a lot of space. Take the time to sort through these items carefully. People often pack these items quickly at the end of the holiday season, and they do not take the time to inspect them. Some items may be broken or in very poor condition.

7. Create shelving for dangerous and toxic chemicals. These items need to be placed out of the reach of children. If you do have small children at home, putting these items where they cannot be reached should be your first priority.

8. If you do have small children, get down low and look around the garage at their level. This will help you identify any potential hazards.

9. Invest in at least one shelving unit. You can use these shelves to safely stack storage bins and other items. Shelving units will help you clear up space in your garage and help keep you organized. You can even label shelves so that they will remain organized in the future. 10. Use hooks. These can be used to hang hoses, garden equipment, lawn furniture, bicycles, and sleds. These will also free up valuable garage space and help you stay organized.

Organizing your garage does not have to be an overwhelming task. Use these ten tips to make organization a breeze.

Wall mounted shelves in a garage are a great idea for storing everything you need where you can easily see what is on each shelf. Some shelving units can cover the entire back or side wall of the garage and you have nothing scattered on the floor when you have the shelves organized. You can have the shelves labelled so that anyone will be able to see where something needs to go when they put it back and it is much easier to find what you need. There are also free standing shelving units that are suitable for garages. You just have to make sure that the floor in the garage is level and the shelving unit will stand on its own. The benefit of using this type of storage is that you can move it around the garage when you need a certain part of the garage to store something else.

Other storage ideas for your garage include having hooks and brackets on the walls where you can hang work clothes, shovels, gardening tools, bicycles or even your golf clubs. There are special units you can purchase that will safely store sports equipment, such as tennis rackets, baseball bats and balls and even snowshoes.

If you have dangerous chemicals and pesticides in the garage, you do need to have storage cabinets with locking doors. This prevents any children from gaining access to these hazardous materials. A pegboard installed above your workbench will easily accommodate your tools and when you have the outline of the tool drawn on the board you know exactly where to put a tool when you are finished using it. You can also consider overhead storage units that hang from the beams and do not take up any of the workspace in the garage.

• Clear and Purge. The first step to cleaning out your garage is to remove everything from the garage. This will allow you to get a bird’s eye view of the amount of junk you have accumulated. Immediately begin to look for items that you can sell, donate or throw in the trash. Also look for anything that might be better stored in your attic due to the infrequency to which you use them.
• Clean and Sort. Next you should take this opportunity to clean out your garage. Wash the walls, and the clean the floor. Look for any problems that need to be addressed before you pack all your property back into it. Then you can begin to sort all the items you are going to put back in. Put them into a logical order using common sense.
• Pack and Store. It may make sense to put together some shelves, and use plastic tubs for some of your items. There are also many overhead storage options purpose made for garages these days. You can also use closet storage systems in your garage, if that will meet your needs.

A well organized garage will not only be a great place to park your vehicle, but will make life easier in many ways. You may even make a few bucks having a garage sale, after you figure out how much useless junk you were hanging onto. Moving the clutter out of your life and out of your way is always a good thing.

 Before you think about what type of storage you will need you should go through everything and decide what you want to keep and what you need to be rid of. Be practical when sorting these items and ask yourself, do I really need to keep that old hat made out of beer cans, or that Christmas sweater from 1980 because your aunt Sarah gave it to you? Keep only the things you will use, even if you only use it once a year.
 You will probably want to incorporate shelving, closets, cabinets, wall units, and ceiling units in your garage storage strategy. You will know better what type of garage units you will need to store all of your possessions once you decide what you want to keep. You will want to keep the floor space as clean and clear of items as possible, and you will once you are organized. Most of your items will be stored on the shelves, cabinets, walls, hooks or overhead storage of the items you use less often.
 If you want to incorporate a workbench in your garage storage solution, you may want to choose one that has extra storage cabinets and pegboards to help you organize your hand tools and other accessories. These workbenches usually have adjustable feet so they can be leveled even when the floor is not.
 Larger tools like routers, chainsaws, and drills can be stored in the cabinets or on shelves for easy access when they are needed. Nails and screws can be divided by size and placed in plastic containers, then placed on shelves or in drawers.
 Remember, each garage storage solution is a personal choice. Only you can judge how much space you need to organize your garage and bring your car inside where it was meant to be.
