What was once an open and airy space to park vehicles has turned into a storage space for items banished from every room in the house. There are a few simple ways to get rid of garage clutter and it all starts with relocation. Arctic Self Storage in Anchorage, AK, makes the transition quick and affordable with convenient storage units in a variety of sizes.

Here are four helpful tips to de-clutter your overflowing garage space:

• Remove Unwanted Items: Do a thorough purging of things you no longer need. If you haven’t used the items in years and don’t anticipate doing so anytime soon, toss them out. Earn a little cash by having a yard sale or donate to charity.
• Install Stackable Drawers: Consider placing stackable drawers in strategic places to hold tools, clothes, and other bulky items. Use the clear variety, and label each drawer for fast access and returns.
• Group Items: Design an organization plan to group similar items together in the same area. For instance, section off spaces for sporting gear, toys, and garden supplies. Bicycles and related gear can be suspended from walls with heavy-duty clips or racks.
• Use A Fold-Down Table: Instead of using a work table, which takes up more space, invest in a fold-down table that lays flush with the garage’s wall. After you’re done with gardening or repairs, you simply clean the table off and fold it away.
• Do Annual Cleanings: Once a year, spring is a good season to get in the habit of cleaning out your garage, so items don’t start to pile up again. Get the entire family involved in sorting things into the toss, sell, donate, or keep categories.

Even after you’ve decluttered your garage, you may still need some additional space.
