how to clean 'oil-like' stain off monitor

[Etcetera]

I've got these really weird oil-like stains on my monitor and i can't seem to get them off. I think they may be smudges from little droplets of oil or whatever from food as sometimes i eat in front of the monitor.

This could've happened 3-6 months ago and it's almost like the smudges have seeped into the monitor. I've tried cleaning with paper towels and detergent/water, alcohol, all purpose spray&wipe. Absolutely nothing as worked

Anyone with any ideas?

Alcohol would be the safest bet for this. If alcohol didn't work, the issue might be behind the first layer from wear and tear.

Use like said above, alcohol, since it dries up/ evaporates. If that doesn't work its definitely behind the first layer from just being old.

I've tried with a bit of gin in the cupboard with no results. i'll try some isopropyl in a few days... shouldn't be because it's old though - only had for 12 months
