What do you use to clean your laptop?

Asked by owenburnett (183points) October 22nd, 2009

i have a macbook pro that i keep mostly clean, but there are a few spots/smudges on it that i can’t seem to get rid of using just a dry cloth. what do you use to safely clean your laptop? damp cloth, baby wipes, something else? (btw, i’m talking about the laptop skin/buttons/trackpad and not the screen).

I use the solution for cleaning the screen all over.

I’ve heard good things about pencil erasers, also, spit and friction, air in a can, (short bursts and NEVER SHAKE IT OR HOLD IT UPSIDE DOWN FOR GODS SAKE), microfiber,

@Cartman what solution is that?

Just a damp cloth for most cleaning. I use a damp qtip for detailing, and occasionally antibacterial cleaning wipes if it gets really nasty.

It’s called Flat Screen Cleaner and is apparently an anti-run gel. It came with a special cloth.

I use a cloth (usually microfiber because that’s what I have—but it doesn’t really matter) and water to clean my MacBook Pro. It works fine. If you have special screen cleaner, you can use that with the cloth as well to clean the non-screen parts of the computer.

I use a can of air to clean the inside, and a wet cloth to clean the outside.

Use a Mr. Clean Magic Eraser. VERY DAMP. I use one to clean a black Macbook everywhere except the screen. For that I use a screen cleaner.

edit: not on the screen ok, whew sorry about that. lol

klearscreen.com iKlear Apple Polish. I use it on my iMacs and my iPhones – one bottle has lasted over 3 years!

I have a Mac, the impure elements just don’t get in in the first place.
