SPRING CLEANING--GARAGES

Now that the weather is breaking, it is a great time get outside and see what has happend in the cold garage all winter long.







Hardworking and multipurpose, the garage is an extension of the home, a transition place to the great outdoors, and oh yeah, a place to park the car. It can also become a domestic dumping ground. With these simple tips, you can transform an untidy garage into an organized, efficient and enjoyable space.

SET UP A PLACE TO ESCAPE
Designate a space for a passion station and make this the heart of your hobby area. In this ECO-NIZE gardening center, the work surface is kept clear by storing small tools and supplies on slatted walls. Hooks, racks and baskets of different sizes hold just about everything and rearrange with a snap. Deep, beech wood drawers stow gloves and gardening gear.

TIPS FOR TACKLING THE GARAGE
Keep awkward seasonal tools nearby. Rakes, shovels, folding chairs- hang or hook these often used items on the walls nearest the garage door to lessen the likelihood that you'll ding your cars by dragging things along the length of your stalls.
Layer items by hazard and by height. Store children's items close to the ground, with things you'll need to share at mid-level. Stow "adult" items-chemicals, breakables, or sharp tools-overhead and behind lockable cabinet doors if necessary.
Designate a space for smooth transitions. Typically with one free hand as you enter/ leave your home, easy access to everyday items is essential. Use hooks for hanging coats and keys, pull-out baskets to see what you have, and surfaces such as adjustable shelves for setting shoes or groceries.

Dedicate a day to divide and conquer clutter. Park curbside so you can move all garage contents to the driveway. Then as a family effort, divide items by zones: indoor-outdoor transition, household overflow, large/long/long term, everyday yard gear, and hobbies.

INNOVATIVE DESK BED




A new movement of space maximization is taking place at Eco-nize closets with the introduction of the innovative desk bed.

Combining comfort, style, and immensely-functional features, the desk bed addresses the growing need for compact and versatile solutions in tight spaces. The balancing mechanism provides a smooth, uninterrupted transition from a desk to a bed and vice-versa.

Desk Bed Features

•Unique pivoting system uses a balancing mechanism that generates the slow, smooth movement.
•The desktop stays parallel to the ground when the desk is transformed into a bed so stored items on the top remain stationary. You don’t have to move anything! Electronic devices can also stay plugged in.
•Bed uses a standard twin-size mattress with a maximum thickness of 10-inches.
•Takes up minimal space with just over 24 square feet of floor space when bed is in the down position
•Ideal for use as a guest bed/ office in multi-purpose rooms, in healthcare facilities, college dorms, on boats, or other areas where space is limited.

It can be used alone with bookcases, storage or filing cabinets added next to the desk bed for additional storage and to provide a custom, built-in look.

SUSTAINABLE LIVING TIPS




Our lawns aren't the only thing going green. It's easy to embrace a greener lifestyle and make it part of your daily routine when you have an organized and efficient system.

SET UP A RECYCLING STATION

In this "need it now" solution situated right outside the door, it's easy to access frequently used items such as recyclables, dog food, and beverages. These bulky and sometimes smelly items contained in the garage keep your home clean and a little less cluttered. Hooks, baskets, and shelves are simple to adjust as your needs change.


consider these tips for living sustainably
Store recycle bins in a place where it's convenient to sort recyclables right after use. Give recyclables a proper rinse-ensuring they don't contaminate the batch or attract pests.

Organize for light, frequent cleanings. When you don't give grime time to build up, you'll be less likely to resort to harsh chemical cleaners.

Designate a space to store items destined for charitable donation. By establishing a zone for these items, you'll make it easy to remember to take it along on your next errand.

Choose eco-friendly products. Look for durable products designed for a long lifespan. Products made of recycled materials, certified to CARB indoor air quality standards, and manufactured responsibly are all good factors to consider. Visit our web site to learn how our company and products are embracing sustainabilty.
