The average garage holds more than 1,500 items. 😳 It's no surprise that over time, it becomes one of the easiest places for clutter to collect. A crowded garage is more than an organizational challenge; it can also create hidden safety hazards.
Our Founder and CEO, Marty Stevens-Heebner, shared a few simple tips during an interview with Inside Edition. One that surprises many people? Pet food shouldn't be stored in the garage. It can attract rodents and other unwanted pests, even if the bag appears sealed. She also recommends storing hazardous materials like paint and solvents safely out of reach, especially if little ones spend time in the garage.
Summer is the perfect time to take a fresh look at these often-overlooked spaces. Sometimes creating a safer, more functional garage is simply a matter of organizing what you already have.
If your garage has become the catch-all for everything life has accumulated, you don't have to tackle it alone. Our professional organizers work alongside you to create practical systems that fit your home, your lifestyle, and your goals.
