    I have a Compaq Presario 14" WXGA laptop and love it, but... I'm rather picky about keeping my laptop clean (the shiny screen and keys), but for the life of me, I can't figure out how to clean the dark grunge that builds up on the rubber key I constantly push with my finger while using the mouse pad. Not to be gross, but clearly it's a combination of dirt and grease build up.

    I've tried alcohol, but it does abosolutely nothing.

    Anyone know of a "miracle" cleaner that will take out this disgusting dark grunge?

    Thanks!

    Well, if it is tough to get to the dirt, then I would take a toothpick, stick a bit of cloth on the end, and just swipe it around...
