Tali: try Aeroguard if you think you could handle the lingering smell! It shifts the strangest things and once i got it to shift biro ink off a white leather lounge perfectly when everything else failed. You could also try a tiny bit of citrus turps (not mineral turps) just test a small area with a cotton bud and see how it goes.... it's also a very powerful solvent so use sparingly if you decide to give it a go...Goodluck! I soooo feel your pain... as you can see from my frequent posts on "destruction" I am very demoralised by it all.
