That does sound reasonable to me but I don't know for sure.

That's a whole different ballgame if your garage is air conditioned.

What?????? I have always stored dry pasta in the pantry for too many years that I can count. I've never had bugs anywhere in my pantry. Yikes! Maybe your bugs in the pasta hitched a ride from the grocery store.

[QUOTE=kp11364;2109593]Hi all,
Just wondering - can you store some groceries in the garage vs. the home itself? 1. Paper goods like paper towels, napkins, tissues etc. 2. Cleaning goods (spic n span, liquid or dry detergents, fabric softeners, etc) 3. Dry grocery goods (pasta, rice, noodles) 4. Canned goods 5. Glass jar goods I would not put pasta in garage because not really sealed container. The glued boxes allow space for animals to crawl through. If garage is air conditioned no problem for rest of goods. If space is not air conditioned then call toll free number on back of package for max heat temp. Warehouses have chiller vent systems in many cases. Last edited by Remembergoldenrule; 06-25-2022 at 06:11 AM. |

2. I would store most cleaning products in the garage if I had enough to need to, but NOT opened boxes of dry detergent (too humid). 3. Dry grocery goods can be safely stored in the garage if they are sealed from humidity and bugs. (I don’t have bugs in my garage, but I might if I had open containers of dry groceries. 4. Canned goods, no trouble. 5. Glass jar goods, no trouble. All of these things are in cupboards with doors in the garage. The garage seldom gets above 90°, except for a few hours after I park a hot car there. That’s not enough to raise the temperature in the cabinets very much. I have a few well-sealed cans of shellac, paint, etc, and WD40 and wasp spray, etc. One strict rule is that I never apply shellac or varnish in the garage. I do it on the driveway. And I NEVER leave a cloth or paper towel with any of those products on them in the garage. If I apply shellac with a folded paper towel, for example, I then open it and leave it on the gravel in the garden until it has dried. Then I throw it away in the kitchen trash can. Items like the tops of vises and drill presses will rust in garage humidity and need to be wiped occasionally with oil or sprayed with WD40. I NEVER leave papers and photos in the garage. The humidity and heat can damage them. Same with CDs and LPs. |

Paper goods yes, any food no. Your garage gets up over 90 in the summer.

Sure, as long as they they don’t melt, or attract small animals, rodents, insects or snakes. Not recommended.

If your garage is air-conditioned sealed cans, jars, bottles are probably ok. I would not store dry goods, pasta etc. in the garage. Lots of bugs here - all sizes. Paper products are fine with or without a/c.

If at all possible avoid storing soda/pop in your garage during high heat months. In some instances, it will break down into formaldehyde. Not good for your health.
