Having an organized garage is essential in keeping your sanity. Not only do you park your cars inside, but you may keep a multitude of other items in there too. You could have tools, brooms, cleaning supplies, children's bikes and outdoor toys, a lawn mower, etc. You can see how a garage can easily become a dumping ground for items if not stored properly and in an organized manner. It's important to clean out your garage from time to time, to keep your sanity!
"National Clean Out Your Garage Day” is an observance dedicated to educating Americans about garage safety. This year, Ace Hardware and Quickie are joining The Lehigh Group, manufacturer of Crawford branded garage organization products, making the 2012 program the largest campaign to date.
Slated for Saturday, Sept. 8, this year’s “National Clean Out Your Garage Day” campaign will focus on teaching people how to perfect their parking zones by providing tips for organizing and preventing garage accidents.
To celebrate, Crawford has prepared organization kits – filled with essential tools for ensuring the highest level of garage organization. It's easy to keep your garage an organized paradise with this prize pack!
-Crawford 16” Adjustable Storage Organizer: Designed for use anywhere in your home, garage, workshop, tool shed or basement, this system is great for hanging brooms, rakes and other lawn supplies.
-Crawford Sliding Spring Grip Organizer: Grips slide into position anywhere along the bar for maximum use. Guaranteed to never lose tension, the grips can hold hardware, garden tools, shovels and more.
-Quickie 2-in-1 Squeegee Pushbroom: This 2-in-1 pushbroom is designed for both indoor and outdoor use. Effortlessly sweep away dirt and debris or use the built-in professional-grade squeegee to push away excess water.
-ACE Multi-surface Pushbroom: This durable pushbroom is perfect for sweeping heavy debris, including caked-on dirt, gravel and construction materials.
-Lysol Sponges: Super absorbent and safe on most surfaces, these sponges can help tackle any tough mess.
Having a neat garage is not only important for you, but your family too. Make sure you don't leave sharp or dangerous objects around that small children could potentially be interested in.
How do you manage keeping your garage organized and clean?
