1   Garage Storage No-Nos: Clothes and Bedding

Clothing and bedding are garage storage no nos. Rats would just love to nest in your expensive duvet. Let them find a B&B farther down the block. Also, garages are usually too damp for storing clothing; they will mildew.

2   Fresh Foods

3   Wine

No wine storage in the garage. Since garages are not insulated, the temperature fluctuates too much to make it a good spot to keep the fruits of the vine.
