One of mine (just one) randomly did this one weekend last year. It was completely out of the blue as I don't have food etc inside the car I never figured out what triggered it.

I removed it completely by spending an hour carefully cleaning it with many alcohol swabs to cut through the stickiness, some dry microfibre cloths to wipe away the residue loosened by the alcohol swabs, and some cotton buds for the corners of the castellations of the outside of the control
