The magic eraser is the Magic Sponge if I'm not mistaken.

I am sorry but it is totally two different thing.

i think 70% alcohol is good enuff... they are good cleaner and it can kill bacteria.. but it may be abit corrosive..

i usually just wet half of the cleaning cloth given by apple and wipe my entire macbook aluminum including the screen.. the wet part first, followed by the dry part..

i thought of purchasing the iKlear, but its kinda pricey..

hey sifus, i need help.

my mbp keyboard seems to b oily. i dont use any sort of protection for me mbp. and the spacebar i only press at one particular spot. now it seems that that spot is glossy. like got a layer of oil on it. i dont know how to take it away.

I also has problem like yours, all I do is bring together a Microfiber cloth to wipe it off.

does it work bro? and what kinda microfiber cloth? is it those that comes together with spectacles?

yup the one comes with spectacles or get iklear, atleast iklear comes with microfiber and it can be use to clean whole macbook, ipod etc.

get iklear,it's good.but don't buy from machines,u can look for it at lowyat plaza mah...cheaper loo..i got it with the free gifts,works very nice.

Yea I bought from Machines @ RM149 last year. Just 2 weeks ago, I went ALL IT @ LowYat and it is just RM79. I was like . Almost half the price?? Same packaging and same 8oz set and yet half the price. I have no idea where is there any imitation of this product here. Anyone can give their opinion?

Regards.

i think it might be the same thing lah...that's normal for an apple retailer store like machine and others..their selling price of the computers are controlled by apple,so their margin quite small lah.. afaik, usually those shops will increase the price on the apple accessories to cover back lah...
the moral is,if u wanna buy apple computers it's ok to buy anywhere. But if u're looking for the accessories better research and survey first..

Yea thanks for that tip. Never gonna buy iKlear from Machines ever again. And so it seems it is just in time for the next bottle.

Thanks again aizad02.

Diff names may be but they're both melamine foam.

no problem!

do i need to apply any kind of solution while cleaning the thing? i have yet to shut down my laptop so dont have the chance of wiping it yet.

i dont think by just wiping using microfiber only, the oil will go away.. that's why i bought iklear (machines is selling at rm88)

usually i use microfiber to wipe out dust/dirt from screen and keyboard.. if there is finger print on the screen, i will use iklear.

isn't the apple cloth provided when we get a new macbook microfiber material as well?

what are the effects in the long run to the macbook aluminum if we do not clean them?

bro i tried wiping it without the iklear solution (cos i havent got it) and it seems to b ABIT better, but still got abit. hmm this used to happen to my old laptop keyboard too but i never thought it wud with a mac. mayb my hands are sweaty.hmm.

yeah they do provide the cloth but i dont use that one. dont think that is better than the one sold outside. its too . . smooth. mayb for cleaning the screen ok gua.



anyways, wanna ask if my palms are sweaty (due to the heat from the macbook itself) will the surface of the laptop (on the left and right side of the trackpad) fad color? happened to my old laptop. if it will happen to the mac den i think i need to get something to protect that two area. cos my palms do sweat.

anyone here use cyberclean?

Err, I don't think alcohol based cleaners are advised.

Here's a cheap alternative: get some alcohol free toner (can buy from Guardian/Watson's- Simple brand, big bottle abt RM20 I think), and clean with cotton swabs.

I'm telling u guys, it works like a charm!

Have used it to clean my old white iBook and also use it to clean the screen of my mobile phone.
