Start with something non-abrasive like a piece of cardstock.  First run it through dry, then take another clean piece of the same with a drop of IPA or contact cleaner on it.  

If that doesn't do the job, use a aontact burnishing tool.  Jonard is probably the most common.  If you need something small, the disposable type are the way to go as you can cut them into smaller/shorter pieces then grab it with a pair of needle-nose pliers, forceps, or whatever.  After the burnishing tool, run a piece of cardstock with IPA or contact cleaner through just to make sure nothing is left behind.
