Using water to clean the macbook pro lid?

[Bankaimadness]

So after doing some research online I see that Aluminum is very resistant to rusting to the fact that it usually rust after your computer die or something...

But anyway what I wanted to know if that if I use water to clean the lid would it accelerate the rusting or corrosion?

I heard that Aluminum can corrode but I am not sure if it is after reacting with water and oxygen.

i cant speak for long term results, but for the last 2 months i have wiped down the mbp with water + microfibre. i dont see the need to fork out money for solutions, chemicals etc when water does the job. Just my input.

Thank you for the feedback. 🙂

One thing I want to ask is how much water do you use?

You really only need to worry about oxidation w/ bare metal. you computer has a coating on it so you don't need to worry about rusting. just don't use so much water that its making its way to the electrical compenets 😉

Water, alcohol, or vinegar are all fine to use on the case and will not rust your machine 🙂
