White macbook I WANT!

Since joining Chilli Red, one of my biggest daily challenge in the office, would be my obsession to keep my Macbook white!

If i have my way, the macbook would look exactly the way it looked, when it comes off the sealed box. 
However, I'll just be thankful if my work surface could actually be just one color, instead of the varying shades of greyscale discolouration, ranging from white white, to somewhat white, to greyish white, to horrible grey! Urgh!
My eyes hurt just from looking at it.

The grossest place would be the palm rest areas, and coming along second, would be touchpad areas!! As for the keys.... I seriously believe that the vowels and my preferred numbers are emerging darker than the rest! 
Gosh! I do believe that i might have to start changing passwords soon! *laughs*


It took me so much effort to clean it on a frequent basis, only to know that hardwork and conscious effort doesnt pay off here! :(
I've resigned and resorted to sticking 2 new pieces of post-it notes weekly, and just looking at the weekly build up of the post it notes - i'm greatly disgusted! 
(you probably would not want to visualise how gross the pretty white palm guard that came along with the laptop was, before i chucked it into the bin)
*grumbles*
I googled occasionally, and am i glad to know that I'm not the only one with an Obsessive Compulsive Behaviour here! woo hoo!

those dark, sketchy stains that slowly grow like a cancer where you rest your palms..Gizmodo

Well, I've attempted hand sanitizing gel, kleenex the window cleaning solution - inspired by how to clean your white macbook, lighter fluid, and now i'm inspired by a super geek caleld Alex raiano, to get a mister clean eraser! I wonder if Singapore carries Mister Clean Eraser? Im definitely heading over to the supermarket this weekend!

Boy, am i glad that my personal macbook is of Brushed Aluminium "color"! 
Of i might just die from too much Mac-whitening to do!
Cheers!
