stuck air vent button

This button is completely stuck.. probably due to previous owner spilling a drink. The cup holder is almost directly above it. Is there a way to free the sticky button?

SOLVED!!!! Carefully take a single edged razor blade and gently insert into the cracks around the button (not deep at all). It loosened the gunk and freed up the button. I'm a happy boy.

I was going to suggest electronics/contact cleaner, but then thought that it could have an effect on the coating (since they seem to peel so much).
