I have a fake leather sofa (light grey) that over the years has accumulated lots of grime and dirt. What's the best cleaning method to remove the grime without damaging the leather?

Try using saddle soap. It's made for real leather so it should be gentle enough for the fake stuff.
This is a nice video on the subject. I hope it helps you.

If it is more like leather or vinyl than a fabric, use a good leather or vinyl cleaner and conditioner. Do not use armor all, it is really hard on leather and vinyl and dries it out really bad.
I would use Dollar Tree Awesome Orange and a big sponge, wear gloves.

Honestly, I have used dawn and a little essential oil in water to clean ours. Works fine!!
