Problem with sweaty hands on mac

I have some sweaty hands, and when i rest them on the place next to the trackpad they make this rough thing that i can wash away with a cleaner, but i'm wondering what is that? I searched the web and nothing other than residue comes out

MacBook Air 13″, macOS 15.5

It's dried sweat and likely some dirt. I suggest you wash and dry your hands before using the computer.
