Hi Edberttjang,
Thank you for participating in the Apple Support Communities.
Don't panic! I see that your Mac restarted unexpectedly. It can be hard to explain what's going on without more information, although I have some resources that may help.
Since you were wiping the keyboard, is it possible that you hit a keyboard shortcut to shut down, sleep, or restart your Mac? You can find a good list of keyboard shortcuts for reference at Mac keyboard shortcuts.
When cleaning your Mac, it's a good idea to shut off the computer and unplug it from power. For more information on cleaning Apple devices, see Cleaning your Apple products.
Just in case your Mac unexpectedly restarts in the future, I recommend referring to this guide--OS X: When your computer spontaneously restarts or displays "Your computer restarted because of a problem."
Cheers.
