<a href=\"https:\/\/theupandupdoors.com\/blog\/keep-bugs-out-of-your-garage\/\">keep bugs in check<\/a>, but we\u2019ll touch on it here also. Plan a day to get the family together for a total garage spring cleaning session. Scheduling some time on the calendar at least a week in advance will ensure that your loved ones know that you\u2019d love them to pitch in and help with this somewhat daunting task. Remove boxes, tools and all items until your garage floor is clear and then sweep out dust and remove cobwebs for a fresh look and feel. If you can get access to a compressed air gun, also spray around garage door rollers, fixtures and the garage floor to get rid of any buildup, dust or debris that may have found its way in during winter.<\/p>\n<\/div><style type=\"text\/css\"><\/style><div class=\"fusion-title title fusion-title-5 fusion-sep-none fusion-title-text fusion-title-size-three\" style=\"margin-top:0px;margin-right:0px;margin-bottom:10px;margin-left:0px;\"><h3 class=\"title-heading-left fusion-responsive-typography-calculated\" style=\"margin:0;--fontSize:20;line-height:1.45;\"><strong>Grime is a Crime<\/strong><\/h3><\/div><div class=\"fusion-text fusion-text-3\"><p>While we\u2019re on the subject of cleaning your garage interior, let\u2019s not forget your garage exterior! It\u2019s pretty simple to grab a bucket of warm water and soap and get to work on cleaning the outside of your garage door. While you\u2019re at it, you can grab the hose, do some double duty and give your car a good washing as well. Now your garage door and your car will both be sparkling clean!<\/p>\n<\/div><style type=\"text\/css\"><\/style><div class=\"fusion-title title fusion-title-6 fusion-sep-none fusion-title-text fusion-title-size-three\" style=\"margin-top:0px;margin-right:0px;margin-bottom:10px;margin-left:0px;\"><h3 class=\"title-heading-left fusion-responsive-typography-calculated\" style=\"margin:0;--fontSize:20;line-height:1.45;\"><strong>Spring Into Action<\/strong><\/h3><\/div><div class=\"fusion-text fusion-text-4\"><p>Now that your garage door is clean from the inside out, you can check the garage door springs, rollers and other components to make sure they are in proper working order. If you hear any squeaks, it might be a good idea to keep a simple lubrication kit around so that you can attend to these as they come about. Also make sure that components aren\u2019t rusted out, and therefore keeping moisture out of your garage is so important (not to mention, it keeps out pests).<\/p>\n<\/div><style type=\"text\/css\"><\/style><div class=\"fusion-title title fusion-title-7 fusion-sep-none fusion-title-text fusion-title-size-three\" style=\"margin-top:0px;margin-right:0px;margin-bottom:10px;margin-left:0px;\"><h3 class=\"title-heading-left fusion-responsive-typography-calculated\" style=\"margin:0;--fontSize:20;line-height:1.45;\"><strong>Spark Joy and De-Clutter!<\/strong><\/h3><\/div><div class=\"fusion-text fusion-text-5\"><p>If you take a page from any of Marie Kondo\u2019s books, you\u2019ll know why tidying up is so important. This can also apply to your garage. A garage shouldn\u2019t feel like a scary dungeon, but rather a comfortable place that just happens to house your vehicles and other belongings. Once your garage has been cleaned and swept in time for spring, it\u2019s a great idea to organize and create a storage solution that works for you and your family\u2019s needs. Creating zoned off areas where you keep tools and other home improvement equipment will help you feel a lot less cluttered and you\u2019ll have peace of mind knowing where everything is housed. Keeping tools hung up on peg boards is a great way to keep them organized and out of the way. Adding additional shelves or cabinetry is another great way to make sure your belongings are kept up and away. This will give your whole garage a more organized look and feel.<\/p>\n<\/div><style type=\"text\/css\"><\/style><div class=\"fusion-title title fusion-title-8 fusion-sep-none fusion-title-text fusion-title-size-three\" style=\"margin-top:0px;margin-right:0px;margin-bottom:10px;margin-left:0px;\"><h3 class=\"title-heading-left fusion-responsive-typography-calculated\" style=\"margin:0;--fontSize:20;line-height:1.45;\"><strong>Weather or Not<\/strong><\/h3><\/div><div class=\"fusion-text fusion-text-6\"><p>When making any needed seasonal repairs to your garage door, don\u2019t forget the sometimes-overlooked insulation and weather stripping. These two are quite important because they will keep out the elements and prevent the interior components of your garage door from moisture and slow the naturally occurring wear and tear process. Proper insulation is also important for sealing cracks and keeping out bugs and other pests that might seek shelter inside your garage.<\/p>\n<\/div><style type=\"text\/css\"><\/style><div class=\"fusion-title title fusion-title-9 fusion-sep-none fusion-title-text fusion-title-size-three\" style=\"margin-top:0px;margin-right:0px;margin-bottom:10px;margin-left:0px;\"><h3 class=\"title-heading-left fusion-responsive-typography-calculated\" style=\"margin:0;--fontSize:20;line-height:1.45;\"><strong>Inspect and Protect<\/strong><\/h3><\/div><div class=\"fusion-text fusion-text-7\"><p>We\u2019ve given several ways in which you can prepare your garage door for the spring season on your own, but it\u2019s also a great idea to get on a regular maintenance plan with your trusted garage door company!
