How to Clean a White iBook or MacBook
Having a white iBook or MacBook looks sleek when it's brand-new, but once it starts showing some wear, it becomes dirty and grubby looking. Places where your hands touch frequently (for instance, the built-in mouse pad and touch mouse, as well as the keyboard keys and where the bottom of your palms rest on the edge of the computer), tend to get gray or black marks that are nearly impossible to remove. If your computer still works great, there's no use in getting a brand-new one just because of a few surface marks.
