Let's face it, the garage is not one of the most romantic rooms in our home. We spend very little, if any time in there and it's normally when we are running from the car to the fridge with groceries or throwing something in the corner for storage. In the summer months, it can be very hot in there and we just can't wait to get out.
If we let our garage get into a general state of disrepair, it can have a significantly adverse affect on the overall value of our home. After a period of time it becomes very difficult to even see the floor, let alone clean it and there can be quite a mess. To look after it as much as you can, garage sealing could be a great investment for you.
Be prepared when you set out to undertake garage sealing as it is not a relatively easy task. To start off with you will have to remove everything from the room and ensure that it is not going to rain for a period of time as you will almost always have to resort to temporary storage on your driveway.
If you do it right, garage sealing will help you avoid all those nasty oil stains, oil spills, concrete dust, road salt and general street residue. It will definitely add to the value of your home, but you should also remember that there are cheaper ways to look after your floors and ones which require much less effort, as well.
Before you start garage sealing, you will need to scrub the floor with concrete cleaners and degreasers, using a high-pressure hose as well. This can be backbreaking work as you may have to treat some areas several times before you are satisfied.
As you prepare your room, allow at least one day before you actually start garage sealing. This will enable you to ensure that you get rid of all those stubborn stains and allow the area to dry adequately before starting.
When painting during the process of garage sealing, protect the walls and other areas using paper and tape, otherwise the paint roller will stain these surfaces. Start work from the back of the room and ensure that there are clean edges, especially where the threshold with the driveway is concerned.
Absorbent pads can be placed beneath the vehicles you park inside to absorb any nasty stains, fluids or other leaks that would otherwise make a mess on the floor. This can be a significantly easier alternative than going through the process of garage sealing, especially if you are somewhat frail.
