We tend to focus on cleaning our home for spring cleaning like washing the windows, cleaning out the cabinets, going through the closets.  Wiping things down, vacuuming up and throwing away.  But, one place to consider during your spring cleaning adventures in the coming weeks is the garage.

The garage can become a depository of many items that you just want to get out of the house but there are a few items you may be storing that should never be in the garage.  These items can be ruined by the conditions in a garage, can attract unwanted pests or can even be dangerous to keep.
