Removing microfibre strip adhesive from a record?

Whilst cleaning an LP in my Clearaudio RCM one of the microfibre strips was dislodged; smearing the lp with its adhesive.
How can I remove the adhesive (without interfering with the audio quality of a mint record)? I thought of using alcohol on a cotton bud - and then quickly cleaning the record to minimise the effect of the alcohol on the plasticiser - but I am not sure.
Can anyone suggest a solution that they have succesfully tried before? 
Many thanks in advance, Kostas

A quick swipe of lighter fluid works wonders for this issue. I've done it on more than one occasion and no harm done. I do clean the lp after this as I normally would.

(I'd highly recommend not to use ebm's solution. This would only spread the adhesive and cause undue harm to the lp.)
