Depending on the surface of the mouse and keyboard, it may be hard to remove the marks. I would start with a soft cloth damped LIGHTLY in water.

The palm rest is painted and the dark marks are the plastic under the paint showing through. Trying to clean them off will only make them worse. There are two solutions, both of which involve dismantling the laptop. 1. Take off the palmrest and respray it with paint. 2. Buy a new palmrest from the manufacturer. If you do this complain loudly about poor design. I did and got replacements free.
