Cleaning Macbook Pro

[gadgetgirl85]

My Macbook Pro has become a little sticky from my fingers. Is Belkin LCD Display Cleaner and a micro fibre cloth ok to use on the trackpad/keys? It says it is alcohol free.

The LCD cleaner should be okay to clean the screen with. To clean the keyboard, I would just use a small amount of water.

For future reference, Apple recommends a product called iKlear to clean Macs and iOS devices. It's something to keep in mind.

When I recently visited Apple store as mcbpro was booting to white screen....it was advised as the logic board being 'liquid' damaged

no known reason as I drink tea at home

I have in the past used 'polish' to clean my mob

now I have it replaced I'll be using 'dry' cloth/paper kitchen towel only
