I have excellent success with Krylon Foaming Glass Cleaner & Windex
The gunk just runs off and a gentile wipe with a soft cloth finishes the job.
Used it for decades on TV set CRT's & cabinets. It contains a lot of ammonia, from the smells of it. Just don't spray it anywhere it will get into a keyboard, circuit board or control panel.

I wear rubber gloves and a respirator when using it, since nicotine residue/cigarette smoke can trigger an anaphylactic reaction. ( Been there. Not fun).
