Summer time means, clean your garage.

It's summer and that means if you are not traveling to some faraway land, like San Diego, you should take time to organize. And if you are like me you should look at that beast of a garage first. Most Americans that have two car garages, hardly have the space to park one car. What a pity? Especially when there are so many organizational shelving and hardwares available for you to use.

In a recent article by the Albany Times Union, Dan Howley gives six tips for a clutter free garage. Which is very important to have if you are trying to sell your home in this tough real estate market.

A poll conducted by the National Association of Professional Organizers found that more than 50 percent of those surveyed say their garage is the most disorganized place in their home.

Here is a six-step procedure to help you transform your garage into a source of pride:

Step 1: Reorganize the garage as a family project on a weekend. Start by taking everything out of the garage and putting it all in the driveway separated by major category. Sweep the garage clean.

If that is not possible, then don't try to reorganize the entire garage in one session. Concentrate on a section you can complete in an hour or two.

Step 2: Take a pen and paper into the garage and list the major categories of items stored there, such as painting supplies, gardening tools, sports equipment, car supplies, etc.
