How are you dealing with melting feet on old HP desktops?

System sat on a shelf for about 10 years (running) and the feet melted. I need to remove the residue from a wood shelf, a cotton shirt, and the metal case. A putty knife and paper towels have been helpful, but there is still residue.

Isopropyl alcohol. Just be warned high percentage IPA can damage plastics. 70% is pretty safe.

Thank you! That worked perfectly on the metal. The wood had some rubber get into the grain, but it worked pretty well. The shirt might be toast....
