I have had my macbook for three years now, and overtime it has developed what appear to be stains from makeup on the keyboard. I have attempted to remove it by rubbing with a soft towel but it has been unsuccessful. Help?
MacBook, Mac OS X (10.6.8)

Isopropyl Alcohol is the ONLY liquid you should ever consider when cleaning a keyboard. It evaporates much more thoroughly than water and faster too. It dissolves skin oil much better than household cleaners, and it is a great disinfectant. Use a damp (not wet) paper towel or tissue, or a piece of an old t-shirt. Power off the MacBook and don't press too hard on the keys. Afterward, "blow everything out" with canned air.
VERY carefully dampen (do not soak) a soft cloth. I would try water first and then something like 409. Be VERY careful that liquid does not drip down between the keys.

Hold it upside-down (keyboard facing down) while cleaning so liquid won't go between the keys.
How do I remove makeup stains from my keyboard?
