Keyboard Stains On MacBook Air M4 Display

Hello, any idea to minimize keyboard stains on the display? My MacBook Air M4 2025 display shows keyboard and palm rest stain on the display. Apple said they don't recommend to use screen protector but the keyboard stains is showing on the display and can't be removed. I already complained but Apple take this as "cosmetic damage". What a nice job Apple engineers 👍🏻

I regularly clean my keyboard using cleaning wipes. It should be not leaving permanent stains directly to the screen. It should can be clean using cleaning wipes (isopropyl alcohol). Just a funny thing dust leaving permanent stains for $1400 or $1300 MacBook
