cleaning sticky oil/grease

Hi,

I had placed my Asus Rog G750JX-RB71 in the kitchen for a few months. Due to oily environment of the kitchen, my laptop is all sticky and greasy. It has oily/grease on its body,keyboard,screen etc.

Also, because of oil, it has accumulated dust. It's proving very difficult to clean the grease from it.

I don't want to damage my laptop by using some strong solvent. So please recommend some good solutions for cleaning the grease/oil from my laptop.

Thank you,

 

The best thing is to clean it with a car cleaner (APC) start with 1:40 then go up.

You could use a common dish washing detergent. Those are fairly mild and made to get rid of grease and oil (at least thats what the commercials say)

 

Yes, detergent's perfectly fine (and cheap). Ammonia's even better though, works very well cleaning up ye ol' cooking grease buildup. Don't dilute, just apply and hold breath .

 

You were gaming in the kitchen? More important is the accumulation of crumbs in your keyboard.

The oil is going to be hardest to remove from the screen, which has a the risk of being destroyed by a strong solvent. Use dish cleaner on that, for the rest try rubbing alcohol or as t456 says ammonia, if you have it around, or windex.

 

Streak-free window cleaner works well in most cases. It has a small amount of ammonia, among other detergents and solvents, that helps to cut through some of the grime. Apply it to a lint free cloth until damp, then wipe away.

 

Thanks for replying everyone!

I tried dish washing detergent and it worked very well. All the grease is gone. I'm so happy.

Luckily there were not any crumbs in the keyboard. It was just grease. Thanks

 

Fine for the case, just be careful on dismays since it can dissolve some protective coatings.

 

Yes, it's definitely better for the chassis. It can also leave streaks on the display/dismay ( ), as it's meant for glass surfaces (obviously).
