Hi all, I'm 2 weeks in with using the M1 14" Macbook Pro and it's getting pretty dusty. The oil marks on the keyboard are more evident than my trusty 2012 Macbook. What are some of the things that you would do to clean, maintain it?

Apple says 70% isoprophyl alcohol helps but I'm a little weary when it comes to the new M1 Macbooks. Thanks!

Does an alcohol wipe work fine for the out aluminum?

A quick wipe and then drying with a microfiber cloth is fine imo. I've been doing this to pretty much all my phones (iPhone or otherwise), especially during this pandemic. Letting alcohol wipe to air dry can leave some residue on the surface.

I would just use something to blow dust off screen, keyboard occasionally then if somehow you have some fingerprint oil use a slightly damp soft cloth then air blow it dry. You don't want particles, oil wiped into crevices.
