eta: I wonder if they've discontinued it! I just tried to find a picture of the can online and can't locate one. What a bummer, I'll be so disappointed if it's no longer available!!
Hope you find your beloved cleaner! I feel the same way about K2R Spot Cleaner which definitely has been discontinued. Fell prey to the whole 'eliminate phosphate' thing.
Back to the original question...I'd try Dawn dish soap as well. Might need to 'scrub' a bit with a soft toothbrush but should eventually come out. And definitely do this while it is still wet/damp or re-wet before applying.
