Spring Cleaning Tips for the Garage and Driveway

Spring represents a time of rebirth and that means it’s time to organize and clean your home.  A big part of spring cleaning involves the garage, the shed, driveway and any other space that gets a lot of use in the warmer months.  Below are a few ideas and tips to help you clean and organize your garage and clean your driveway.

1.) Recruit a friend and the job will seem easier. You could clean and organize your place this weekend and do theirs the following weekend.

 

2.) Be prepared to get rid of unwanted or unused items. Assess how much you have in your garage that you use on a regular basis. Anything covered in dust from last year can probably be packed away.  Also, consider having a yard sale if you have unwanted power or hand tools, as there is always demand for those items.

3.) As you size up what you store in your garage, determine the best way to organize your items. Do you only need to separate small things, like craft materials, jewelry, screws, nuts, bolts, nails and screwdrivers?  A color coded system of storage bins (D1163244) is what’s best.  If you have power tools cluttering your work bench and garage floor, it’s a good idea to install shelving.  Either heavy duty wire shelving (D1101222) or open steel shelving (D1170895) will work depending on how much you have and how heavy it is.

4.) Don’t clean and organize your garage only to have it return to its messy conditions. Ever hear the expression “plan twice, build once?”  Think of organizing your garage like this:  “organize once, reorganize never again.

5.) A pressure washer (D1774621) is not only a good idea for cleaning your siding and patio, but also a method to remove paint and other stains that have accumulated over time on your driveway. Various attachments and cleaners are on the market to help you do a thorough job.  Once you finish, inspect your driveway for cracks.  Is it time to have it resealed?

Essential Tools To Get You Ready For Spring

It’s that time of year again when the weather starts to get drier and warmer, allowing folks across the country to emerge from their winter cocoons and start to take notice that they’ve neglected their outdoor space over the chilly winter months. It’s all started to look a bit shabby (and not even ‘shabby chic’), so it’s time to take action and do some spring cleaning.

Spring-Cleaning

The concept of spring cleaning dates back to ancient Jewish Passover traditions as well as the Christian tradition of cleaning the altar on Maundy Thursday. It’s persisted into the modern age because spring is when the sunny weather and longer days make it all the more obvious how dusty houses have become and how overgrown the yards and gardens are.

One potential problem we all face at this stage is that we suddenly discover that it isn’t just the flora that’s been neglected and trampled on over the winter, but the equipment we need to do the spring cleaning, has also had a hard time. From hose pipes that explode when you turn them on, to garden tools that have rusted and lost their strength, you might need an upgrade!

The most satisfying part of spring cleaning nowadays has to be when you get the pressure washer out and blast away the winter grime from your yard, footpaths and/or driveway. Whether it’s the powerful blast or the very obvious immediate improvements you can see while using them, it’s a chore that you might actually be looking forward to!

Pressure Washer

The 25L Rechargeable Battery Power Sprayer is one of the best power washers for the job and can be used for a variety of other garden spraying functions. It uses a battery that spares you from the hassle of having to drag a power cord around with you. If you want a more traditional and powerful-looking sprayer, you could consider the 17L Stainless Steel Pressure Sprayer, which is more industrial.
