I've found that generally, with a little work, adhesive residue may be
removed with a bit of scotch tape---or, ideally, the removed piece of
adhesive that left the residue behind in the first place.

Stick it down, and lift it straight back off (don't peel) repeatedly. This
is effective and solvent-free. I use this method to remove all manner of
adhesive residue, including those contrary CD packaging stickers.

Sometimes it takes a few pieces of tape, too, to get it all off. But it
works. (:
