Rental vs Purchase

When to Rent

• Occasional Use: If you only plan to clean out your garage once or twice a year, renting tools like a power washer may be more cost-effective.
• Specialized Equipment: If you need specific tools (e.g., a dumpster or large storage containers) that you won’t use regularly.

When to Purchase

• Frequent Use: If you anticipate needing certain tools regularly for maintenance or other cleanouts, purchasing equipment like a dolly or storage bins makes sense.
• Long-Term Investment: If you have the budget and the tools will add value to your home organization efforts over time.

Safety Equipment

• Gloves: Protect your hands from sharp objects and chemicals during cleanup.
• Dust Mask: To avoid inhaling dust and debris, particularly if you are cleaning out old items.
• Safety Goggles: Protect your eyes from dust, debris, and potential splashes while cleaning.
