Best way to clean greasy Macbook pro keys?
 

My new MBP with black keys really shows how oily my hands must be most of the time. I wipe it down with a damp MF clotch once a week, but even after that there are still small shiny spots on the spacebar. What should I use to completely remove any oils?

Gloves? :whistle:

Do you also get dirt from the keyboard transferring to the screen when you close it?! Drives me insane and no idea how to stop it!

The keys are porous, so once you get oil on them, you're unlikely to get it out without popping all the keys off and cleaning them with a mild solvent.

The damp microfiber method is the correct one. You could also try a mild citrus cleaner, though I would remove the keyboard prior to trying it.

Stick a paper towel between the two when you close it.

Thanks Simba, I'll try a diluted citrus cleaner. Someone on a forum suggested a Magic Eraser, but that seems like it could be damaging over time.

I'll probably clean it thoroughly, then add a Moshi ClearGuard.

Stop ejaculating on the keyboard.

That'll do it.

Get an iSkin keyboard cover. It's really helped.

90% bathroom (rubbing) alcohol and a QTip. Works like a charm.
