the name almost says it, what do you use to clean the different parts of your mac with?

mine is getting pretty dirty, and it bugs me..
 
I use Monster Screen Clean (warning, when you visit this page a really annoying Monster spokeswoman will start talking and moving her hands too much). I use it all over the mac and on the keys, because it nerfs grease. I'm really happy with it. They have some specially formulated for laptops, which I haven't tried -I just use the generic Screen Clean variety.

Other than that, I put it in the dishwasher every now and then to remove that caked on grime.
 
iKlear - the ones that they sell at the Apple stores. Works really well - makes my various Apple electronics looks new! :D

they don't ship outside the US :(
 
so basically there is no trend in what people use, nothing that a lot of people can recommend :(
 
I usually take it in the tub with me. Lot of bubbles help. My rubber ducky gets a little jealous sometimes though.

Most people are either going to recommend iKlear, Monster Screen Clean or something similar. They're all the same really, just make sure they have no corrosive chemicals and what not. They work too great, too. Some people also use water and a microfibre cloth.

Also, a Mr. Clean Magic Eraser will work on your aluminum MBP and keys, but for love of zeus' beard, don't use it on your screen.

I'm from Canada! I got mine at Best Buy for $25 or something. It lasts forever too.

Certain items can't be shipped out of North America, due to lame Euro rules.

And Canada is nothing more than the U.S.'s 51st state, so pretty much anything bought in the U.S. can be bought in Canada. Thank NAFTA.

i hate you and i'm certain you smell of poo.

kidding about the hate part, order it off ebay, dawg.
 
I use iKlear spray. I destroyed the cleaning cloth that it came with. For a period when I could not locate my bottle of iKlear, I just took a spray bottle. I filled it with equal parts of rubbing alcohol and water. I used that paired with a generic microfiber to clean my computer. But, since I found my iKlear, I have been using that.

Come on. You know it's true. Canadian's just don't want to admit it. The U.S. should really change the flag and add a little maple leaf as the 51st star. :D
 
Baby Wipes, seriously, used them for years on various comps and hi-fi/TV equipment.
Dirt cheap, effective and NO harmful chemicals due to being designed to work on a babies ***. Just watch they aren`t TOO moist before you start and 5 minutes later you have a very shiny Macbook.:D
