I religiously clean my hands before using my Macbook, but my keyboard seems to be unnaturally oily. If I turn my Macbook to the side in the light, you can see very oily spots on the keyboard. I have tried many solutions to clean the oily keys including 91 alcohol, Windex, and water (obviously done safely and with qtips to ensure I didn't mess. The ideal solution (that I've found after years of cleaning Apple products) is not to use alcohol directly. Instead, mix it with water. The proportion to mix is simple:The best way to administer alcohol when cleaning a MacBook Pro keyboard, is to take a fresh cloth and place it over the open top of the rubbing alcohol and flip.Apple keyboards are generally quite easy to clean and you should be able to get all the stains off.

This actually made it greasier, but after rubbing my Pro with Gook off and then cleaning off the Gook off with alcohol, the residue was gone! I do this every so often when the keyboard gets shiny or I see oil residue below the keyboard where my palms rest. So what i did was dampen a cloth with 'gook off', which is an oil or sticky residue remover. I have had this problem where no matter how clean my hands are, and using isoprophil alchohol or iKlear, it still doesnt remove the oil residue off the keyboard or alluminum unibody. рџ™‚Software updates - and newer requisite hardware which may be needed to function with it is different than the durability and life of a keyboard.I'm sorry but I think that is a poor comparison.Through all my different careers, I have learned it takes an oil to break down an oil. If you want cutting edge, then your going to pay (and change and change and change) with Apple.10.8 Mountain Lion is coming out this summer, a year after Lion 10.7. 10.7 it won't and require all new purchases and even then some won't run yet.10.5 or 10.6 you need to clone an copy your disks, cause Apple will eventually cut off your 10.6 disk copies like they did for 10.5 and earlier.So not only does a lot of Apple hardware have planned obsolence in them, so does the operating system.On the other hand Microsoft supports 10 year old XP still, Vista 6 years and thus Win 7 easily 10 years.If you can make your Win 7 hardware last 10 years, keep copies of your software, then your set, no need to buy anything for 10 years and you get security updates and anti-virus too free.Value wise, Windows is it.

I do not recomend this for the screen because I have not tried it yet and have not needed to try it on the screen. This is the only method that has worked for me and my school that actually works, leaving my Pro and the student laptops looking brand new.
