Great Garage Organization Hacks

Great Garage Organization Hacks

GRANDVILLE, Mich.,––Ahh, your garage, the home for your car, or your storage unit. Whatever you call it, if you have it, it's a space that you're probably thinking about when the spring season rolls around. There might be bicycles, garden tools, sidewalk chalk, and other sorts equipment you'll need for the warm weather somewhere in your garage. For many of us though, there's more than just that. For many of us, there's lots of junk crammed into the corners, overcrowding shelves, and taking up valuable floor space, because not everything can stay outside during the winter.

This is why we've all got garage on the mind whenever someone mentions "spring cleaning". Depending on the state of your space, doing some organization or cleaning in the garage could sound easy, or it could sound completely dreadful. Either way, we've got some great garage organization hacks that'll help you clear it out AND keep it clear throughout the rest of the year!


Great Garage Organization Hacks
Sports fanatics in the family? This hack is great for storing basketballs, soccer balls, footballs, bouncy balls, and more. All you need is a corner, some wood, a few screws, and bungee cords. You can easily adjust the amount of bungee cords and size of the "container" if needed. 


Great Garage Organization Hacks

Monkey Hooks
 and a flat-back bucket make the perfect solution for car wash or household cleaner items without using a shelf. 



Great Garage Organization Hacks
Those annoying power cords? A simple hook and chain is a great solution that'll avoid any tangling or falling. We recommend these velcro ties to keep your cords neat, tidy, and together!


Great Garage Organization Hacks

Everybody needs some shelving in their garage, and this solution is an easy one (it only takes about 1-2 hours to complete)! Keep in mind, these shelves attach right to your garage wall, but they're great for plastic storage bins, garden tools, etc. Be sure you've got enough room for your car before screwing the boards into the wall. 

Great Garage Organization Hacks
Magnetic strips make storage super easy. Just install and start sticking stuff up. You can also use this hack with metal lidded jars (hack: glue a large washer to plastic lids to make it stick) for storing nails, screws, staples, nuts, bolts, and whatever other small items you can think of! 


Great Garage Organization Hacks
Have fishermen or fisherwomen in the family? If you do, a pool noodle is a super easy solution to keeping your lines organized. If not, you can use this cheap hack for brooms, rakes, shovels, etc. 


Great Garage Organization Hacks
Keep shoes in the garage? Even just tennis shoes for when you mow the lawn or do yard work? Try this hack! Alternatively, you could hang a shoe organizer on the wall. 

We hope these great garage organization hacks give you the tools to get your garage tidied up for the spring season so you can enjoy the nice weather while it's around! If you need help tidying up your car, we offer a great selection of car detailing packages, as well as a-la-carte services like headlight restoration, pet hair removal, and rain-x windshield treatments, to meet your budget.

Get Ahead on Spring Cleaning with These Car Organization Tips

March 14, 2018 0
GRANDVILLE, Mich.–– We know winter is still technically here and spring is just around the corner. This weather doesn't quite call for a windows-open, full-out, detailed clean but it's the perfect time for some simple organization to help get you started! Some of us can neglect keeping our cars tidy throughout the winter because of the cold weather and desire to be inside, on the couch, and bundled up. Let's be honest, some of us can neglect keeping our cars tidy all year long, because that's just how we are! We know we want to keep things in order, but life simply gets in the way. There are ways, however, to combat the excuses. We're talking organization methods. Check out some of the ideas we've put together below and get ahead on spring cleaning with these car organization tips!

1. Baskets

These are the most simple, yet most helpful holder of items. You can pickup baskets at your local grocery/department store, hardware store, or for really cheap at a Dollar store. There are plenty of sizes and materials to choose from, sometimes there are baskets with dividers in them to organize further. Baskets are especially great for emergency kits so everything is in one place!


2. Pill Bottles

When those pill bottles run empty, don't throw them out - save them! They're the perfect size for coins and smaller items like q-tips, Ibuprofen or Advil pills, mints, etc. All those coins laying around in your cup holder could be put into one simple place with a pill bottle for easy access.

3. Cereal Container Trash Basket

You can easily clear out the trash from all the small compartments in your car to get started, but this cereal container trash basket will help keep it all in one place for easy clean up. You can find these containers at grocery/department stores or anywhere you can find kitchen supplies. They come in different sizes, but finding one with a large mouth makes it easy to use. An alternative solution? Hang a 3M Command hook to the side of the center console and hang a plastic or paper bag for garbage.

4. Shoe Organizers

These are great for organizing a variety of items including kids entertainment, maps, emergency items, etc. These shoe organizers can easily be hung by string to the back of a car seat. A bigger shoe organizer like the one shown above can encourage your kids to put things away when they're done with them, especially since it's easy to do! 


5. Pencil Pouches

You can easily find these in the school supply section of your grocery/department store, or in an office supply store. These little pouches are perfect for small items. You can attach them all together with a keyring or carabiner to easily keep them together as shown above. A group like this could easily fit in a center console, depending on the size. 

6. Empty Altoids, Gum, and Travel Q-Tip Containers

These small containers, similar to the pill bottle idea, work really well for small items that you need to store in your cup holder, center console, or glove box. The Altoids containers can be used to hold first aid items (see these 5 DIY mini emergency kit ideas), and the gum containers can be used to hold cash, house keys, etc. You can even disguise the gum container for security (see this secret car compartment DIY). Lastly, the plastic Q-Tip containers are also great for small items like headphones, hair tires, bobby pins, etc. that you can group together. 

7. File Folders

You may not have a ton of documents in your car right at this moment, but a file folder can help keep everything organized. This is especially helpful when you're traveling and have to bring documents like passports, veterinary papers, etc. along with you. You can also store service records and other related items in an organized way. Bonus: if you're old school and still like to carry a paper map, a file folder is perfect for storage!

We hope you find these organization tips help you get ahead on your spring cleaning. At RiverTown Honda we care about your safety regarding all aspects of your vehicle,  even organization. When you're in a tight spot, we want you to be able to have and access the right items to help solve the problem!
