Try a product named "Goo-Gone" which is a citrus-oil based concoction meant
to remove adhesive residues and whatnot from items on which you'd rather not
use hydrocarbon-based solvents. Works well (though slowly) at removing
adhesive labels so should probably work on duct tape residue, especially if
you warm the residue up a bit. Full-service hardware stores should have the
product.
