Try freezing the sticky stuff with ice cubes. Or take off with something oily--like salad oil, hit the oil stain with Simple Green and wash. If it's ultra suede, it should be polyester, right?, and therefore washable, I think.

I have a beautiful throw, dark blue ultra suede on one side, long pile on the other. Eldest son used it to cover a Nagahide chair with duct tape repairs. End result is that body heat melted the tape stickum which is now in spots on the suede side (thank goodness - imagine if it was stuck to the pile!!!) I have tried pulling the residue off with new pieces of tape with no success. I am hesitant to try Goo Gone or other solvents due to the 100% poly fiber content. I want to clean it, not melt it. It is too large to put in the freezer, although now I think about it I could just put it out on the front porch - it was minus 10 yesterday AM. Any suggestions gratefully accepted.
