Resolved How to clean yellowing Apple Keyboard keys?

Hey guys, I have a rather trivial issue. As you can see in my attached image, my Apple Wireless Keyboard has some yellow/yellowing keys. Now I know that I should clean my keyboard and such often, but the problem is that I do very often, and it won't come off!

At first it was a very slight yellow, medium, darker, now the way it is. I have tried multiple cleaners for my keyboard and cannot get this crap off. It bothers me because I am a neat freak and want everything (especially on my desk) to look clean.

Any idea what to use to get this nasty looking stuff off?

Thanks!

Have you tried a Mr. Clean Magic Eraser? They work really well on Apple keyboards.

Funny I hadn't thought of that, I used them all summer cleaning and working on the Macs at my school district. I'll be sure to grab some and see how it goes.

No,

I wash my hands before using my keyboard and/or Magic Trackpad.

Off and on yes.

CRAP!

Is there anything I can do about it?

Btw, I don't understand how that could cause discoloration on my keyboard... my fingers are never stained yellow?

Haha alright. Thanks for your help!

Found a home remedy.

Never got a chance to run to the store, so instead I've used household items. To eat away the nasty yellow stains, I lightly scrubbed Crest 3D White Advanced Vivid toothpaste across the keys that needed attention. That ate away a lot of the dark stains, but there were still visible yellow spots on the keyboard so I got out some Rubbing Alcohol, and put a bit on each key with a Q-tip, then wiped it off with a Kleenex.

This is what I got.

I know that there is a slight tint of yellow on the L and ; keys, but I'm pretty satisfied with these results, because they didn't cost me anything!

In short, lightly scrub with some whitening toothpaste, then dab a bit of rubbing alcohol to get rid of the rest of the yellowness.
