Try an eraser, rub it over the residue the same way that you run out pencil on paper. It works for sticker residue so it ought to work for sellotape too.

I would use White Spirit - but it depends if that something you keep in the house!

YEs I have white spirit - think I'll try that first as its just under the sink and requires no effort finding it!!
