Well my macbook is getting a little bit dirty, mostly near the trackpad area where I rest my hands, and I wanted to know what's the best way to clean it. I've read you can do it with a soft cloth, like the one that came with my laptop, and water, but the stains are hard to clean.

Also, is there anyway to clean the area beneath the keyboard? The keys look like they can be removed but I'm guessing they can't be.

Clean the stains with Mr. Clean Magic Eraser pads (work wonders)

You can use compressed air to get debris from under the keys. They can come out but are a PITA to reattach.

Ok, I'll pick a couple of pads next time I hit the supermarket, but I don't think I can find them so easily here, not in the US btw xD. Any other DIY cleaning solutions?
