How can I clean the inside of my Rover 25's windscreen?

I have a Rover 25 and find that the inside of the windscreen gets very greasy, or what appears to be grease, and it is almost impossible to clean. It this a common factor or can you recommend a cleaning agent that will safely remove it?

That might indicate a leak in the heater matrix because condensation from engine coolant will appear to be greasy. Fix the heater, and then Mer windscreen cleaner or toothpaste should remove the grease.
