Not clean out, but actually clean? I drive by houses in our neighborhood and their garages look so spotless. Ours has tools and stuff with sawdust, leaves that blow in, cobwebs, etc. I'd like it to be cleaner but I barely know where to start.

The one at the rental we just moved into is nice and spotless. It also has great lighting, finished walls, and no dark corners. If DH junks it up, he will absolutely be cleaning it out.
The garage at the home we own... wasn't in the cleanest state when we moved in. It's been swept out a number of times, but the spiderwebs were a never-ending battle.
No. It's actually to the point that I'm embarrassed when people see it. It's a 2 car garage and we put 2 cars in it, but it's filthy. We've swept it out once in 7 years.
Yes. The garage is the hub's domain, and he's so damn anal that all the shit in there is perfectly organized and always clean. Too bad his wife isn't that good at it inside the house.
We have a spot by the door where the wall/paint is peeling really badly. I would sand and paint over it but it's all warped and god knows if there's lead. How do I fix it?

I see that when driving by houses and am envious. Our garage is pretty clean, it's not a shithole or anything but I do love those super neat, painted garages where everything is neatly hung on the wall.

Oh, our garage annoys the shit out of me. DH has shit everywhere. Hate. It is so messy and unorganized. It drives me nuts. It embarrasses me and I try to keep the door shut.

My H is like this too.
Well, when he's in the middle of a project, it gets messy/crazy, but then he gets nuts and has to reorganize and clean everything.
In the winter, he freaks about the ice/salt that gets tracked in from our tires.

H keeps our garage pristine. He has a utility vacuum I call "the GUVner" for cars and the driveway, a power washer, and a shop vac. His OCDness benefits us both, LOL. We have some storage items there, but we park all our cars in the garage. H hates garages used as storage units.

It gets swept out. Half of it is filled with flooring at the moment (well for the past 3 years) DH gets to park in the driveway until my new floors are all in.

I just swept it out today. I also really want to patch some holes in the drywall and give it a nice fresh coat of white paint. That will happen exactly never. Or until I pay someone to do it, lol.

I could have written this exactly! Does your husband also dust his car?? DH does and it's so obnoxious.
We're usually decent about keeping it swept, but it's currently a giant mess of bicycles, strollers, a power wheel, a wagon, paint cans & closet junk from when our basement flooded, etc. Summer is hard on our garage.
It would probably have been on our list for this weekend, but H threw his back out...so I'm in survival mode instead!
