Spring is officially here. Although the weather is still trying to catch up, the birds are finally beginning to chirp again and those living along the coasts will soon be able to enjoy the soon-to-be beach season. Among the many things that spring brings us, however, is one that we cannot forget: spring cleaning.

Spring cleaning is defined as thoroughly cleaning a house or room, typically in the springtime when all of those unnecessary belongings that have been piling up over the winter have come to a head. It usually means taking all of the old and either finding a use for it or chucking it. In many cases, spring cleaning also leads to the discovery of new and better replacements of older, outdated items.

You may be getting ready to rid yourself of old clothes, trinkets and accessories as part of your household spring cleaning, but what about your business? Whether you’re a C-level exec or work in a cubicle, virtually any employee can get involved in spring cleaning at the business level. If you’re a decision-maker, choosing to reevaluate what’s been sitting around for too long could prove invaluable for better business. As someone who reports to the decision-maker, campaigning for some spring cleaning will truly make you shine as an attentive and dedicated employee.
