How to remove dried adhesive from furniture? (cleaner, cabinet, build)

[Sage 80]

I had a lacquered maple wood cabinet taped up with brown packing tape so the doors wouldn't open, during a move. It was in the attic for a year before I decided to use it again.

The tape dried up and separated a bit from the cabinet during its time in storage. Now that I've removed the tape, there's a dusty film from where the tape was.

What's the best way to remove the old, dusty adhesive?

This is the tape I used.

Skin So Soft should take care of that.

I'd try De-Solv-it, which I haven't been able to get for years, so I'm on my last spray bottle. It's one of those citrus cleaners. Just read the labels and find citrus cleaner that says it will remove tape residue.

Since it's dry, you could try going over it with nylon net -- it shouldn't harm the furniture.

Thanks, everybody.

You can also try GoJo hand wash- but NOT the kind that has pumice in it.

Amazon has it.

Goo Gone Gel cleaner is the most miraculous product I have found lately. Test in a small area of your furniture first, but I have found it very gentle on the finishes of the things I have used it on. It easily removes any kind of adhesive.
I have a copper range hood on which I tried everything to remove greasy buildup without marring the patina finish. Either it didn't touch the grease, or it removed the finish. Goo Gone Gel removes grease and adhesive with just a squirt and a wipe.
Even without the copper hood, I would never use anything else on any greasy range hood now.
