MacBook bottom cleaning HELP??

Hi,
I have the new MacBook with the rubber bottom. A few days after buying it, I notice it gets very dirty often. Some of the stains just won't go. I need help on how to clean it properly. Anyone know how?

MacBook 13", iPod Touch, iPhone 3GS, Mac OS X (10.6.4)

"The bottom case of the MacBook uses a soft nonslip material. Use a 3M Gray Microfiber or soft dye-free, lint-free cloth to clean the bottom case.
It is safe to use isopropyl alcohol 70% or iKlear on the bottom case. Remove any surface dirt gently with your bare hand before proceeding with a cleaner and cloth. After cleaning, dry the bottom case with a soft, lint-free or micro fiber cloth."

Generally, just apply the same rules as to any other electronic item. Avoid water and avoid paper or cotton to clean it (the mini powder they generate can penetrate the case), use mini-cloth like the ones for glasses. For the product itself it depends if your case is alluminium or plastic but in any AppleStore or Eletronic retailer you'll find specific cleaning products.
