If it is tape residue, try "goo be gone" it works quite well without harming the badge..

It is a product name. Please check with the members above first. John

The 'goo be gone' is the name of the product. Other companies make similar products with different names. It is a citrus cleaning product that works very well at removing Scotch tape and other types of sticky, gummy, residue. Very user friendly (no nasty solvents) and won't harm the badge.

I'd use a cotton ear bud dipped in lighter fluid in firm swipes, then once done swill the badge under the tap.

Lighter fluid is the same naptha used in dry cleaning. This is a good remedy. If it fails, I would next try carbon tetrachloride and then acetone.

Apply any cleaning chemicals sparingly, with a cotton swab and use the 'minimalist' system, working slowly, if there is a positive result.

Less is better, when it comes to cleaning anything.
