Don’t clean out your schedule cleaning your home! In a 2021 survey, 71% of Americans said that they have spent more time cleaning during the COVID-19 pandemic than they ever had before.
Many people spend hours on their garage floors, struggling with dust, hair, and dirt. Yet you can save yourself time. The key is to study a few floor cleaning tips for your garage.
How can you reduce the clutter in your garage? How should you remove dust and stains? What resources can reduce flooring problems before they start?
Answer these questions and you can make cleaning your garage floor a cinch. Here are five effective cleaning tips.
1. Remove Items on the Floor
Boxes, tools, and other items on your floor can create clutter and make it hard to clean. Take anything resting on your floor and move the items onto shelves. You can also hang them from hooks.
Create an organization system so you don’t mix up your belongings or put things where they don’t belong. Gardening and home tools can go in red boxes while sports equipment can go in blue boxes.
2. Sweep the Floor
You should sweep the floor at least once a month to remove dirt and debris. A broom and dustbin are all you need, though you can use a vacuum cleaner if you find it hard to handle a broom. Make sure you sweep underneath furniture and drawers, as leaves and dirt can become trapped under there.
3. Use a Cleaning Solution
If you get an oil spill on your concrete floor, you need to use a concrete degreaser to remove the stain. You can spread a little sawdust in order to contain the oil. But the oil can still leave a stain or residue, and only a degreaser can remove it.
You can also make a basic cleaning solution of vinegar and water to remove other types of stains. If that doesn’t work, you can try using trisodium phosphate.
4. Rinse the Floor
After you apply a solution, you can use a high-powered hose on your floor. The hose should remove the excess solution and destroy any dirt that has settled into your concrete. You can also use a hose on your floor without a solution if you have grease on the ground.
5. Put a Coating on the Floor
A coating system can protect your floor from scratches and make it easier to clean. A Full Chip System can go on your floor in less than three hours, and it has multiple layers to protect your floor from damage.
