Removing Nicotine Stains from Window Frames

Does anyone know how to clean very heavy nicotine stains and drips off of vinyl windows? It is almost like it is part of the vinyl now. I would appreciate any type of advice. Thank you very much in advance!

First you must wash several times with hot soap and water. You can shine later on with window cleaner, but it takes hot water and Dawn liquid several times to start with. Wash until the cloth (not paper towel) comes out clean. (12/29/2010)

Try 20 Mule Borax, in the detergent aisle (app. $5 for a large box). Dilute as per directions and also put some dry in a small container (i.e old yogurt tub). Dampen a sponge/cloth in the borax/water mix and squeeze almost dry and dip into dry borax, works like a miracle. (12/29/2010)

Scrub it with bleach water! Or put some ammonia in some clear water and scrub it with that. (12/29/2010)
