how to clean an ibook

[franpal]

i don't know if this is my OC-ness talking but im seeing signs of grayish areas in my ibook, probably dirt (?). It's around the wrist area..even my trackpad is showing signs of it. (buti nalang i purchased an iskin for the keyboard)

what are good ibook cleaners or wipes i can use? gracias!

i got this cleaner which is designed especially for mac computers and other hardware... its called iClean. i bought it at rockwell, the electronic store selling mostly Bose products, near the cinema. cost me around 2k for a 100ml solution, with spray bottle and two 3m lint-free, scrath free wipers. it think, considering the price of your 'book, its worth it. Happy to Help

i think the iClean is only for the display and for the display of the ipod as well.

i heard someone say something about icekreme? eek i dunno the spelling exactly but i know there's something like this. thing is i know it's pretty pricey too. some people have mentioned using an eraser? a white one. tried it once seemed to have worked. of course now am just too lazy try it though

Hi franpal, you could try a white staedtler eraser to remove those spots. Actually, any eraser will do.

if you want the cheapest solution to cleaning your ibook inside and out (well except for the screen of course) i use MC Multi Purpose Cleaning Solution that can be found at any hardware store.. just use a tiny bit on the spot and it will do wonders

Polar Bear, it doesn't always work. I once had an iBook 700 that was stained with at the wrist area. MC, Wipe Out, Joy, rubbing alcohol, WD-40 (none of which is recommended), they all didn't work. The Staedtler eraser did the trick though.

I also recommend the eraser...i use the white soft staedtler eraser...just be sure that you won't wipe the bits to the keyboard.

Must be a pretty tough stain elbert... maybe it worked for me cuz i cleaned it as soon as i noticed it. i'll also try the eraser :lol: thanks for the tip

I use a bathsoap solution(safeguard + water) to clean my stains on my wristpad with a lint free cloth, rinse with a damp cloth to remove the soap afterwards.
