Garage Clean Up + $100 Gift Card GIVEAWAY!

in Giveaway on

We’ve been trying to tackle some cleaning and organizational projects before the fall and winter seasons hit, especially the outdoor ones. Top of our list? The garage.

Even though we’ve only been in our house for 9 months, it’s amazing how much gunk and grime we had on the floors. I think most of it was still leftover from the last snowstorm.

After Ben and I swept it out, we gave it a good cleaning with the AR Blue Clean 1600 PSI Electric Pressure Washer that I recently picked up from Ace Hardware.

It was pretty gross how well this thing cleaned up our garage floors.

Eventually I want to get a wall system for the garage,
something along the lines of this…

Contemporary Garage And Shed by Salt Lake City Closet & Home Storage Designers Flow Wall System

Traditional Garage And Shed by Cincinnati Closet & Home Storage Designers Organized Living

But for now I’ll settle for a nice clean garage floor.
Well, at least until this coming winter.

Don’t mind that dresser that is in mid-makeover.
Yeah, yeah… I’ll get to finishing it someday.

So, do YOU want to win a $100 Gift Card to Ace Hardware
so you could win your own
AR Blue Clean 1600 PSI Electric Pressure Washer
or anything else that you fancy?

Please follow the directions on the Rafflecopter below to enter. Good luck!

Howdy there!

Love your blog 😀 If I had a new pressure washer, I would help my mother properly clean her deck, instead of having her do it all by hand before staining it. It would be a huge help for her bad back. Unfortunately, I’m in a tight budget so I can’t afford to buy one for her. My fingers are crossed!
