Like many glues designed to stay tacky it is oil based. I used cooking 
oil and a soft cloth, I've also heard of WD-40 working well.

The envelopes that CD-ROMs come in have similar glue on the flap, people 
tend to open them then put the CD down on the flap and get glue all over 
them. They then take them to the sysadmin who has to put up with people 
in the kitchen asking why he is buttering a CD then washing it in 
detergent.
