    I want to clean the keyboard, get stuff out of the keyboard, clean the screen, and clean the shell, like around the powerbutton and trackpack. Any cleaning products you recommend? I really don't want to ruin this!

    This stuff with a good quality micro-fiber towel. Always spray on the towel and never on what your cleaning....you just need a little. Has always worked great for me.

    As for the screen, I only use this on my TV's, laptop screens, and monitors....

    Ha ha, reminds me of the old days. An operator in the data center decided to clean the consoles, gosh knows what that person used, but for months later our fingers would be continually stuck to the keyboard keys. :D

    For the keyboard, a quick clean with a vacuum cleaner with a brush extension and then a damp cloth wipe over.

    Then later you can check your efforts with a cotton swab and a petri dish.
