Best way to clean your laptop?

[macosxuser01]

I was wondering what do you guys used to keep your laptop clean? I know this kinda sounds like a stupid question but the keyboard needs to be clean and in between the keys and was looking for advice what is best/safest way to clean it. Wipes?

As far as the screen I'm using a Staples brand "Screen Cleaning Spray" for the display with Apple micro cloth that is given with my MBP.

Let me know what you guys think...

For the keyboard I use rubbing alcohol and a Q-tip. It picks up the dust and grime pretty well and won't ruin anything. Just don't have it dripping.

I use a dry microfiber cloth for the screen and alcohol wipes for everything else.

A DAMP microfibre cloth is all you need...I never use any form of chemicals on the screen, body or KB of any Macs I have ever owned.

I remove the case from my rMBP once a month, and just wipe it clear of dust etc. with the same method.

This method works well for me too. Just avoid the dishwasher

Sorry, couldn't help myself...

You are not alone my friend.

Your laptops must be gross. Even with regular hand cleaning, it would be impossible for a machine in daily use to stay pristine.

I use Windex-damped microfiber cloth fpr both the screen and keyboard.

Windex contains ammonia.

Been using this for years. Ammonia-free:

I have a box of these

Great to take with you if you travel with your laptop a lot.

Just take some spares with you as everyone wants one when they see how clean it gets my MBP

Having tried several different wipes over the years I strongly recommend the one on the link. Price is a little higher maybe but it does make cleaning much faster.

I bought Brasso Gadget Care off of eBay and it's an amazing product. 3 to 4 drops directly into the screen (not liquid.. more gel-ish) and wipe it with a micro fiber cloth. Perfect. And it's anti static.

I use microfiber cloth to clean retina display and keyboard too.
