Holiday Garage Tips

This is my favorite time of the year. With the holiday season upon us, it is such a great time to see family or friends and catch up. We hope that everyone is able to enjoy the holiday season this year. To help you keep things running smoothly, a Boynton Beach FL garage door service has provided us with these reminders and tips:

• Storing holiday presents. The garage is a great place to hide wrapped presents! Just make sure to keep them off the ground away from any dirt or moisture and put them in an opaque plastic bag to protect and conceal them.
  
• Lay down parking mats. With so much snow and ice around, it’s a great idea to invest in one or two parking mats in your garage. These mats will catch snow and ice that falls off of your car, preventing you from accidentally dragging any into your home or slipping as you enter or exit your vehicle.
  
• Heat it up. Sealing and insulating your garage will work well to keep heat in, but it isn’t going to generate new heat. If you spend a lot of time in your garage during the winter months, it may be worth installing a unit heater. A space heater will also be effective, just be sure to keep it a safe distance away from any flammable surfaces.
  
• Be Safe! Is there a fire extinguisher in your garage? What about a carbon monoxide detector? Whether you use your garage for storing extra gasoline for the lawn mower, or warming up your car in the morning, you should always be prepared for potential safety hazards!
