    I breathe gently on a small area, just enough to mist it, and immediately wipe with a soft microfibre cloth.
    Same method I've used professionally for photographic lenses for many years.
    For cleaning the hard-to-reach nooks & crannies a toothbrush & a little saliva - as used by restorers everywhere.

    I wipe down the whole unit, screen, keys, everything, with %91 isopropyl rubbing alcohol on a paper towel.
    Also, qtip swabs, as well as cutting the shaft of the qtip at an agle to get into crevices (mouse pad, screen edge, screws, etc).

    Just make sure NOT to use anything "soppy" with alcohol. only just enough to be moist.

    I just use a microfiber cloth with one side dabbed in water. Use the water side to clean dirt, the dry side to remove all the moisture.

    I guess what we're trying to say is that we use microfiber. :D
