+1. iKlear with a microfiber cloth works wonders on matte screens, and also works well for polishing the rest of the computer.
Well the keyboard doesn't seem to get dirty if you close the laptop when your not using it. As for the screen, I use the cloth that came with it
+1 for always microfiber cloth, however, I use plain water. I have a spray for my plant, I spray a very little water on my lint-free towel, just enough to give it a damp feel, then wipe it clean, including the screen.
Make sure you don't spray any liquid directly onto the computer.

iKlear for mac = meguires for cars. I paid 20 dollars for the whole 2 bottle kit w/ various clothes and I have about half a bottle left, 3 years later, for 2 MBPs, iPhones, Cinema Displays etc
That's a fantastic idea! I use it on my roadster and it doesn't have a scratch on it! *trots off to the garage so she can clean her screen*
I also use the ShaggyMac microfiber cloth just dry as well on the keyboard and trackpad to wipe off any oils left from my fingers.
Thanks for the tip.
iKlear all the way. Its excellent on any type of screen and its good on the aluminum and the keys. To get between the keys, I just fold up the microfiber cloth and then run it through the space between. If you got crumbs, I sometimes us some compressed air to blow it out.
during the 6 month period of saving up for this 1st ever mbp i7 (mac in general) i've spent so much time looking into other accessories for my mbp. and iklear is the way to go, after seeing video reviews etc. it's probably the best cleaning tool for your mbp!
now on another note, the one and only thing i never gave thought to was the moshi keyboard cover. i always thought it looked doofy, but thinking long run i know the keys will get worn down and glossy looking. but the moshi thing looks so doofy!! any thoughts?

iKlear.
However, about once every other month, I give all my laptops a once-over with Cyber Clean putty. That stuff works GREAT on speaker grilles, power vents, USB ports and keyboards. I'm always amazed how much crap my laptop picks up no matter how much I baby it and this stuff works great.
