I did this same thing. I was able to pull off the some of the bits
and pieces but had a little ring left.
I tried a couple different cleaners but had no results.
Then I used a Mr. Clean Magic Eraser and it worked in
about 20 seconds.
I also use the Magic Eraser to take off the occasional
boot scuff. Works like a dream.
