My DC has warmed up a babybel wax wrapper and smeared it into every crevice of the keyboard and the screen of my laptop.
Any ideas on what could get it off without ruining my laptop?

Wow! The things kids do...

Um, sticky stuff remover might shift it, or you could try heating the wax with a hairdryer (you may want to take the keypad off first) and attempting to soak up the hopefully melted wax with kitchen roll. I suspect you may end up picking it all off with your nails while cursing aforementioned dc under your breath though. Wink

Sorry to revive this thread, but babybel cheese wax wrapper is the work of the devil. I have bits of it everywhere after DD rolled it around in her hands and smeared it over the windows/table/kitchen units. Angry

Where can I get sticky stuff remover from?

babybel wax is indeed satanically inspired. any thoughts on how to get the wretched red stuff that dd ground into our mat?

i'd try using the hairdryer to soften it up on the laptop. i would definitely take the key pad off first though.
