Could you guys suggest some LCD cleaners, both for matte and glossy LCDs and also mirrors? And also, something which can get rid of long-time sticky dust from plastic surfaces like found on cabinet, mouse, keyboard and similar?

Just use good old Colin for cleaning and the stickyness doesn't usually come unless you don't clean stuff regularly or use eatables near devices and use your dirty hands on them. It's upto you to maintain cleanliness.
With regular cleaning you won't see that ever, there's no magic liquid/cleaner that does it once and for all.

I haven't cleaned anything since Covid. Maids who were in charge of all these were asked to not come. So it's been like 1.5 years, of dust accumulation.

You can try 70% IPA or acetone to clean of oil from mirrors ( though be careful when using them on monitor )

I clean my monitors (entire rig) once a week or once in 10days. Just use a damp cloth or if more fingerprint marks then a moist bit wet cloth followed by another dry cloth pat.

And you require maids to clean monitors?

Well I used to do everything myself but since having back pain I stopped all these cleaning activities, including my PC and associated peripheral cleaning. Besides this cleaning-only maid was there sucking insane money for a reason.

Cleaning the PC every 10 days is way too much for me. I used to clean the insides of the cabinet once every 3 months and monitor, TV like stuffs every 15 days or so. That was enough but since Corona everything was put on hold. In fact the iron grills on windows have developed too much sticky dust which is not going away easy. Saw some Pidilite WD40 for rust removal, hope that works fine. For LCDs I will use good old Colin, thanks fellas.
 
Make sure Colin does not seep into the bottom cornors of the monitor inside frame , else rainbow colours on the edges. . permanently .
Ask me how I know .

Yep. Better to spray colin on microfiber cloth and use the cloth to wipe anything .. this avoids what you said.
