How to clean dirty keyboard and aluminum around monitor?

Hi all,

I've been happily using my 24 inch aluminum iMac since Christmas. I've noticed that some of my keys on the keyboard are getting dirty (I guess this happens with white keys!) and also the nice band of aluminum at the bottom of my monitor could use some spiffing up. Ideas as to the best thing to use to get things looking new again??

Thanks--

iMac 24" 2.8 Ghz 4 Gig RAM; iPhone 8 Gig (non-3G); iPod 80 Gig; 2 iPod shuffles, Mac OS X (10.5.6)

On my keyboard I use a paper towel that has isopropyl alcohol on it and for in-between keys area use a Q tip with isopropyl alcohol. For the monitor and aluminum I mix a little distilled white vinegar and water and dampen a cotton rag lightly and use it for cleaning all my glass surfaces like my iMac, windows, my desk (it's glass) and even my iPhone screen.

Regards,

Roger
