Depending on the type of crud, we use one of several cleaners in our repair
lab, on virtually any equipment, including-but-not-limited-to Macs.

   1) A spray cleaner such as 409 or Fantastik (spelling?).

   2) A contact cleaner, available in any electronics supply store (yes,
      this works great on EXTERIOR dirt and smudges).

   3) Isopropyl alcohol.

NOTE:  We recommend the following "don'ts":

   Don't spray solvents or cleaners directly onto the equipment -- use
   a clean (pref. static-free) nonabrasive cloth.

   Don't use strong solvents like acetone or MEK!

   Don't leave the equipment turned on while cleaning.

   (Maybe I'm being fussy, but better safe than sorry...)
