clean keyboard and trackpad from fingerprint sweat?

Is it possible to get rid of the sweat build up on the keyboard and trackpad? If so what do you use?

For my white Apple keyboards I always use Isopropyl Alcohol 90% and a cloth. I unplug the keyboard and put the alcohol on the cloth and rub all the keys. Removes all the dirt/sweat/grime and doesn't affect the key letters.

What about for the macbook keyboard?

Same. Use it on my Macbook Air.....although with the black it doesn't show the dirt/grime as bad.

Thought I should point out that you won't need to "unplug the keyboard". That would only be a good plan on an external wired USB keyboard.
The MacBook should be powered Off.
Clean cloth, dampened with Isopropyl alcohol (not wet or dripping!) - Just damp enough to clean those keys.
Although alcohol would evaporate quickly enough that a few drips should not be a problem, I prefer to not make problems, if I don't have to. 😎

I attached the keyboard and mouse to the roof of my convertible car with a bungee chord every time i gets my car washed at the local drive thru, both car and mac accessories are clean as a whistle- toot toot!
