Pro Tip -
If you ever construct a new house or garage be sure to have the concrete contractors install floor drains in your garage - preferably one for each stall - so that the winter weather crap that collects on your vehicle will not pool underneath and around your vehicles.
Sure, after the water drains away and the floor dries the mud, road grunge and other dirt won't look very appetizing but you you won't be tracking it into the house if it spreads all over the garage floor.
With the arrival of spring you can sweep-up most of that debris followed by flushing the rest down the drains and out the underground pipe to a discharge in the backyard.
One more thing. Every garage should have a slop sink. A floor mount sink with hot and cold running water just like you find in a janitor closet. A great supplement for flushing the fore-mentioned floor, rinsing-off a vehicle, scrubbing your wood-fired oven implements, cleaning deer hunting knives, dirty boots and (drum roll please) shampooing your dog!
