    try a product called "goof-off." It comes in a small plastic bottle and is typically used for removing sticky residue but also works on a number of other problems. I"m sure your local hardware store will have it.

    Good luck!

    If all else fails, bar of LAVA soap. Remember this will remove the shine off floor, too. Works great to remove yellow mustard or koolaid from counters.
