I usually use damped cotton cloth.

Don'y touch it all and it will be fine. A micro fibre cloth should be enough.

HiYa
Im from the UK and just use a damp cloth to clean washed out in water with a spot washing up liquid, and on the cover front I just got a cover from these people http://www.wrappers.typepad.com/ they do all types and as I dont like a proper Laptop case there soft covers are great, then you can carry your MacBook around in a normal rucksack....so much safer these days.
Hope this helps mate.

Well you can use microfibre cloth/cotton cloth with diluted mixture of dishwashing soap and water. Just make sure you use the cloth to apply and dry, and don't make it dripping wet for obvious reasons. And as a preventive, get Speck SeeThru Hardshell protector so you don't get marks on the MacBook itself. There is a red, clear, and blue color.

Another vote for the Speck protector, although I find dust still gets between the case and the MB because of static, but it's far better than letting the Mac get scratched and knocked about.

rixx03 · Apr 10, 2007

Yup. Besides, you can clean the case weekly if the small amount of dust bothers you. :mac:

I use one of those microfiber cloths that people use to clean glasses. And I lick it. Sue me, but holding it under a faucet makes it too wet, but it needs to be just a tiny bit damp to get it really clean. When I was younger, my mom always used to lick a kleenex and then wipe my face, so I don't see how it's any different. :mac:

I've heard of people using car wax on the outside, but haven't tried it myself.
