Had to laugh a bit, either your fingers tripped or spellcheck "fixed" a word.
I wouldn't be too worried about what you use if the dish soap doesn't touch it. That is good rubber, not sure if the goo is it decomposing from age or something that got on it. Paint thinner, even gasoline, would be where I'd go next. Once clean of goo, wash again with the soap, then when dry dust with talcum powder.
Don't get too rough with them, but if they are really bad and you need to try to harvest one off a junkyard car, they're held on with little T-shaped push prongs, and I've found it easiest and safest for the rubber instead of trying to extract those prongs by prying, to gently stretch the rubber out over them, one at a time, leaving prongs in car body. Then once rubber is all off, pry prongs out, reinstall them in the trim, and you can put it on your car.
You pull the trim straight along the line of the door, its hole stretches into an oval, and when the oval is long enough slip it up over the tee and then the far end slips off the other end.
Prying, I ended up breaking off prongs and tearing out the holes.
