Many people use their garages as storage spaces — and there’s nothing wrong with that. But if you’re not careful, the mess can easily get out of control. And we’re not here to judge, believe us! But the truth is having a clean garage can dramatically improve your life. Here are a few benefits to having a clean garage to hopefully inspire you.
More Organization
We’re not against using garages as storage spaces. That’s one of their best functions. But the cleaner your garage is, the more organized your storage can be. In addition to organizing the mess, having proper shelving, hooks, and overhead storage can dramatically improve your storage space capacity.
Fewer Pests
Cleaning your garage is a clear way to alleviate potential pest problems. Rats, roaches, and other critters love a mess. They can find food (including those winter clothes you’ve been saving) no matter how hard you hide it. It’s clear that having a mess attracts pests, especially if you store food or even have a lot of cardboard lying around.
Peace of Mind
If your garage stresses you out, you’ll be amazed at the peace of mind you’ll have when it’s finally clean. It’s like a practical handy man’s Feng shui — it’s not mystical, but it might keep you from losing your mind.
