For many families, the garage is used for storage, and rarely for cars. This can result in piles of forgotten items that create clutter, disorganization, and chaos when it’s time to find something important or sentimental. Here are a few of the benefits you’ll enjoy when you do a garage cleanout.

Uncover Forgotten Gems

Spend a few hours each weekend sorting through old boxes of “junk.” There are bound to be forgotten items that you want to display or take out of storage and put on display in your home. You might even stumble upon items that you’ve forgotten about, yet still hold monetary value.

Protect Valuables

Proper storage is vital when it comes to investment pieces like lawn mowers, snow blowers, expensive cars, and other high-cost items. Getting your expensive items under cover and in from the outdoors is a responsible move when it comes to protecting your valuables. Priceless items like childhood art projects, family photo albums, and other sentimental items should be rescued from the garage, too. This way they can be properly stored and saved for prosperity.

Repurpose the Space

If you’ve ever wanted a workspace, art studio, or workout area in your home, a cleaned-out garage is your answer. It’s easy to turn a garage into any of these spaces at a small cost. For a little extra money, a garage can be converted into an additional room in your house. Many families have turned their garages into an in-law suite, family room, or ground-floor master bedroom.

Prevent Pests

Finally, the practical side of things: less clutter means fewer pests. Rodents, insects, and other critters flock to garages because they are indoor areas that tend to be cluttered. As a result, they provide ample hiding spaces for pests to breed and nest. Removing your piles of unwanted things can prevent these pests from wandering into your home.
