"Using a 70 percent isopropyl alcohol wipe or Clorox Disinfecting Wipes, you may gently wipe the hard, nonporous surfaces of your Apple product, such as the display, keyboard, or other exterior surfaces. Don't use bleach. Avoid getting moisture in any opening, and don't submerge your Apple product in any cleaning agents. Don't use on fabric or leather surfaces."


Did you use the correct type of wipe? Were you careful not to squeeze out any liquid?


"Funky" isn't a technical description so I don't really know what is going on. You may need to take your computer to an Apple Service Provider if it continues to be a problem.
