We’ve teamed up with LiftMaster, America’s leading manufacturer of garage door openers, to give you some helpful advice about garage door opener safety, as well as general garage safety. In this article, we’ll focus on the importance of keeping the space clean, neat, and well-organized. Here’s how to do it – from the inside out.

• In most homes, the garage tops the attic or basement for debris and clutter. Keep your garage clear of greasy and oily rags because they are highly flammable and can catch fire spontaneously. Have a fire extinguisher installed in your garage.
• Grass clippings are excellent for keeping dust in check in a garage, even though this might sound like you’re making more mess.  So, next time you mow the lawn, sprinkle the fresh clippings on the garage floor and then sweep them away.
• Efficient organization of bicycles, sporting goods, and garden equipment is critical to a presentable garage. Install hooks and shelves to store objects off the floor. Train your family to get into the habit of putting things back where they belong!

Although huge strides have been made in the safety of garage door openers, it’s still important to know about the heaviest door in your home.
