Now that spring is here, it's the perfect time for an office clean up. The following spring cleaning tips will get you started.

De-clutter. Review and consolidate the contents of  your files, recycling papers and folders where you can. Re-alphabetize and reorganize for future easy access. Cull through the cards in your Rolodex too, discarding-or moving into permanent storage-those individuals you're likely to never call. Clear your bulletin board of out-dated memos and reminders. If you're the kind of person who likes to keep your projects at your fingertips, neatly label a folder for each job and place your files in a desktop organizer. De-clutter your drawers, replenish supplies, then wipe down your phone and desktop with antibacterial cloths.

Dust. Your keyboard and mouse get the most use, so spend some time carefully cleaning them. It's easy for food particles, dust and other debris to collect between the keys. Simply shake your keyboard over the garbage bin or use compressed air in a can for the hard to reach places. Gently wipe the keypads with a soft cloth. Do the same with your mouse and computer screen. It's best to do this when your computer is turned off.

Delete. If your computer is slower than you'd like, now's the time to delete old, or never used files from your hard drive Store them on a back up disk, CD or memory stick.
