How to deal with the "sticky rubber" effect in laptop devices?

I have been using the Dell Latitude E6540 laptop for a long time. My last friend, an IT specialist, tweaked it so much that it runs like my Dell Vostro 5502 business laptop. However, the desktop of the laptop, apart from the keyboard, is covered with something like rubber. This rubber has become tacky over time and catches dust and other contaminants. I have one idea how to fix it but it doesn't seem the best to me, so I decided to ask you.

To deal with the "sticky rubber" on the laptop, you can try the following solutions:

Use dry, soft cloths or tissues to remove excess sticky substance and dust. Do not use wet wipes or cleaning fluids as they may damage the laptop or make the sticky substance even stickier.

Try using a special plastic cleaner that is safe for use on electronic devices. You can find it in computer accessories stores or household chemicals stores. Make sure you read the instructions on the package and use the agent according to the manufacturer's recommendations.

You can also try using a special protective film that will protect the laptop desktop from dirt and damage. This film is available at computer accessories stores and is easy to install.

There are several ways to deal with the "sticky gum" effect on a laptop: 1. Use alcohol wipes You can try to remove the sticky gum by using alcohol wipes. Gently rub the rubber surface until the stickiness is completely removed. Remember not to overdo the amount of alcohol and treat the device gently to avoid damage. 2. Use powder/talcum powder You can also try removing the sticky gum with powder or talcum powder. Sprinkle the rubber surface, then rub it gently to get rid of excess powder. You can repeat this process several times until you get the desired effect. 3. Use dishwashing liquid Another solution may be to use dishwashing liquid to remove the sticky gum. Dilute dishwashing liquid with water and rub the rubber surface until the stickiness is completely removed. Be sure to clean the soap thoroughly so as not to leave any residue on the laptop. Remember to always treat the device gently and avoid using too much cleaning agents so as not to damage the surface.
