Rubber Restorer...

Benzene or other rubber-cement thinners might work about as well as anything on
the rubber rollers. I use the SpotShot becuse it's readily available, and I
doubt I'll use it often enough to hurt things much. The main purpose for which
I use it, other than removing routine spills from my light-colored carpeting, is
removing those stick-on labels and price tags that come off with such
difficulty. It works very well for that, though it smells very unpleasant.
