    Hi all

    Noticed that after a days usage my Vostro has attracted a fair few fingerprints/greasy marks on the shell and the keys.

    Any advice on a good way to remove these????

    Should mention that I am in the UK so no obscure non UK cleaning products thanks...... :D :D :D

    Can't you just use a micro fibre cloth? It works greats for getting rid of smudges, fingerprints, and pretty much anything and everything off of glasses, I expect it to perform the same on a notebook's surface.

    microfibre are really great to clean screen and cases etc. but i find that the microfibre needs washing frequently.

    so i use the microfibre cloth for cleaning screen.
    and
    wet (preferably very warm) cotton cloth for the keyboard and cases.
    efficient, economical, environmentally friendly, perfect! :D
