how do I clean a keyboard on my Macbook?

A few of my key's are noticeably glossy from constant use. I was stupid and didn't buy a protecter like I should have. I was wondering if there was a way I could clean the oils off the keys so they no longer appear shiny.

MacBook Pro with Retina display, OS X Mavericks (10.9.4)

You've just 'rubbed off' the patina with use - a 'keyboard protector' may or may not have allowed this to happen. There's no oily residue to clean... but you can, if you like, replace the affected keys by purchasing the most 'glossy' looking keys. See -> https://www.replacementlaptopkeys.com.

Good luck,
