Rubberized Material on Laptop Palmrest- How to Clean?!

Hi everyone,

I've got a Dell Inspirion  13 7347, 2-in-1 series laptop. The material on the laptop is a type of rubberized type material that also appears to look like metal but is soft and rubbery to the touch. This material apparently tends to soak up and absorb stains easily! My palm rest now has a stain from a cosmetic product that seems to not want to come out of the rubber.


Does anyone know what the best way to clean this is? I've tried soap and water, dish detergent, magic eraser sponge, vinegar, baking soda, nail polish remover, hydrogen peroxide...I am running out of ideas and quite frankly getting fed up that it cannot be removed. I like the material, however, it is IMPOSSIBLE to clean once something has absorbed into it and has discoloured it. I'm  considering returning it and getting a replacement if I can't get rid of this stain.

Any advice or suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

Thank you.
