Best Answer

You can use a product called "Goof Off" that can be found in hardware departments or home fix-it stores. It contains a chemical xylene that helps dissolve glues. Your other option is to use a piece of tape, like Duct Tape or masking tape, and by repeatedly sticking the tape and removing it from the sticky spot it'll pull up the residue.

I had masking tape residue on a pair of headphones with a very fine leather headband. I read that any oil based cleaner would work so I tried the oil based wipes used for cleaning women’s hair removal wax and it worked a treat.
