    Both of those are stinky and they’ll ruin the finish. The safest, most effective route would be using pure orange or lemon oil with a dust cloth or a regular wash cloth. Pour a cap full of the oil onto the cloth and wipe in a circular motion. As the wood soaks up the oil, the stains instantly disappear, the paper will easily come off and it’ll leave a shine to the finish. Not to mention it smells AWESOME, it’s quick and it gets the job done.

    Put a big blob of mayo on it and let set overnight;
    You may have to do this a couple of times but it will work.
    BTW WD40 removes any kind of ssticky tags, paper etc off of just about anything.

    Try a mixture of linseed oil,and cigarette ash ( no joke! ).This has worked for me on numerous occasions.
