Had my MacBook Pro 2018 since may.

Now its time to give it a autumn clean, screen, keys etc ;)

What do you guys recommend to complete this task?

Thanks

I work in an office so for like 3 month the laptop doesn't look so bad plus I use a soft screen/keyboard protector so I have less area to clean. I previously used iKlear but now I just use a damp cotton cloth "old shirt" to clean the aluminum part. For the screen, I use them glasses wipes. I do NOT spray anything directly on the laptop/screen.

Just use youtube

avoid using chemicals, that can take off the anti-glare coating; don't know if they fixed that.

I now use a slightly damp microfiber cloth and that's it.

I use warm water on a microfiber cloth. Helps to break up the skin oil/grime. Lightly "dust off" the screen before very gently wiping the screen.

I hate looking at them oily keys that is why I got a very thin protector from day one. I got a used/decent keyboard replaced for my older mbp before I sold it. You may try to clean each key with them glass cleaning wipes and see if they look any better.



The keyboard is very hard to maintain as the skin oil leave marks on the keys.....
