WHY A CLEAN GARAGE IS A GOOD IDEA
“A clean garage is a safe garage.” is a phrase often tossed around and while it is true, there are other benefits to having a clean garage other than for safety. Here’s just a few.
IT CAN BE THERAPEUTIC
Cleaning your garage can be a great way to relieve some stress. It’s a well-known fact that using your hands and staying active can decrease stress levels. You can keep your mind healthy by providing it with tasks that it can follow logically, like cleaning.
You’d be surprised by how much your mood can be boosted by the sight of a clean space. You’ll thank yourself for taking the effort to clean your garage.
PEST CONTROL
Your garage may be home to a few pests or even a few families of them if you’re not diligent with your spring cleanings. The garage offers so many nooks and crannies that pests like rats, roaches, and raccoons can find shelter in.
Make sure to focus on spaces that might attract pests: under tool cabinets, in corners, and in cabinets or shelves. Alternatively, you can also call a pest control service if you suspect a more serious problem. You don’t want to miss a spot when it comes to pests.
Pests can spread to more parts of your home in search of more food such as your kitchen and may cause further damage or, worse, injure a family member.
MORE SPACE
Are you constantly finding yourself running out of space in your garage? You might just be cluttered.
It’s amazing the amount of space you can “find” when you just do some light cleaning. Clutter and inefficient use of space can really limit the amount of space you can use.
EASIER ORGANIZATION
Okay, this one seems like a no-brainer, but it is worth repeating: the cleaner your garage, the more organized it will be and the more time-efficient you can be because you can find everything you need at a moment’s notice.
No longer will you need to rummage through all of your junk looking for your seasonal decorations, power tools, or anything else, because it will all be in its proper place. The time you spend cleaning and organizing your garage will ultimately pay for itself by saving you time in the future that you otherwise would have spent searching for things you’d misplaced.
There’s a phrase that the Japanese use that effectively explains the importance of organization, “A place for everything and everything in its place”.
FACELIFT
Let’s face it: clean garages are much more appealing and attractive than dirty ones. In recent years, minimalist home decorating has become a new trend, and for good reason—it’s been shown that the more organized a room is, the calmer and more focused we feel when we’re in it.
Your garage doesn’t have to be a place you’d be embarrassed to have your guests see. When you take the time to clean it, you’ll thank yourself every time you walk inside and are happy with what you see.
