6 tips for spring cleaning in your veterinary practice

The warming weather means the time for spring cleaning is just around the corner. Use this time of year as an opportunity to de-clutter and de-junk your veterinary practice—your team members and clients will thank you. Here are some tips for getting rid of unnecessary clutter in your practice:

> Donate or recycle old computers and other electronics.

> Get rid of your big, clunky filing cabinets and go paperless with document management software and desktop scanners.

> Shred your old documents and paper files.

> Setup desk organizers to organize and paper files or documents you must keep.

> Reduce, reuse and recycle with recycling cans.

> Remove dust and coffee ring stains from your desk.

Now that you’ve de-cluttered your practice, what do you do with the extra space? Consider adding in new furniture to create an inviting atmosphere for your clients. Add a water cooler in place of a filing cabinet and bring in small plants to brighten up the office and clean up the office air.
