    I wash my hands. :thumbsup:

    EDIT: This really works. I'm not trying to be smart or anything, just sharing. But when it does get dirty, I use some Belkin alcohol-free cleaner with a microfiber cloth and wipe it down.

    yup my hands are clean and i ain't no grease monkey! but even if your hands are 100% clean, the matte finish WILL still show fingerprint smudges after you have used it so was just curious what if anything others used to clean theirs. these aw are so beautiful a machine that i get a bit ocd about wanting to keep it clean :)

    Microfiber + a little water. That's how we usually do it around here.
