Any garage cleanout starts with a little bit of planning and a whole lot of dedication. The first step is to clear out any cobwebs and debris that have accumulated over the months (or years). Once the area is clean, you can start to sort through your belongings. Ask yourself whether you really need each item and whether it would be better off in another location. If you’re having trouble making decisions, consider renting a storage unit for items that you’re not ready to part with. Once you’ve sorted through your belongings, it’s time to start the cleaning process.
