Lykkers, do you ever walk into your study room and feel overwhelmed by a strong musty smell? Or maybe your bookshelf is covered in dust, and your desk is filled with stubborn pen marks?

A messy and unclean study space can make it hard to focus and enjoy reading. But don't worry—we've got some easy and effective cleaning tricks to help you freshen up your study room!

Say Goodbye to Musty Smells

A musty smell in the study room is usually caused by humidity and a large collection of paper books. Books easily absorb moisture, especially on rainy days, leading to an unpleasant odor. The easiest solution? Baking soda! Simply sprinkle a thin layer of baking soda on each shelf, and it will gradually absorb the moisture and odors. You can also place a small open container of baking soda in different corners of the room. If you want a fresh scent, try adding a few drops of essential oil to the baking soda before using it.

Keep Your Bookshelves Dust-Free

Bookshelves tend to collect a lot of dust, making your study space look untidy. Instead of using harsh chemical cleaners, which might damage the wood, try a simple method: Use a slightly damp cloth to wipe the shelves gently. If there's stubborn dirt, a mild soap solution will do the trick. Be sure to dry the shelves immediately with a clean cloth to prevent moisture buildup. For extra protection, place a thin cloth or newspaper on the shelves before arranging your books. This makes future cleaning much easier!

Cleaning Your Computer the Right Way

Computers are essential in modern study rooms, but they also attract dust. Many of us make the mistake of using a dry cloth to wipe the surface, which only spreads the dust and pushes it into the keyboard and vents. A better method is to use a soft cloth slightly dampened with disinfectant. Gently wipe the surface, then use a hairdryer on a low, cool setting to remove any remaining moisture. For the keyboard and small crevices, a small brush works wonders in removing dust and debris.

Removing Stubborn Pen Marks from Your Desk

Ever struggled with pen marks on your desk that just won't come off? Water alone won't help, but don't worry—there's a simple solution! Grab some rubbing disinfectant and apply it to the marks with a soft cloth. Wipe gently, and you'll see the ink fading away. If the marks are still there, repeat the process a few times, and they should disappear completely.

Getting Rid of Crayon Marks on Walls

If you have kids at home, you might have found crayon drawings on your study room walls. Instead of stressing out, try this trick: Place a clean cloth over the crayon marks, then gently run a warm iron over the cloth. The heat will melt the wax, making it easy to wipe away. Just be sure to act quickly before the wax dries again!
