The best way it to clean all optics at frequent intervals so that a little cleaner and a wipe will do the job completely. Speaking of cleaners, my very own, ClearSight lens cleaner, does a superb job in maintaining lenses clean and bright. It has been field tested by many LUG and HUG members and has garnered a loyal following. While no (safe) lens cleaner will remove accumulated oil in one single application, ClearSight will not disappoint you. If you would like to try it, check its new domain which I list below.
