Remove glue for/from carpet padding from wood floors

Is there a good, non-destructive way to remove the glue used when putting carpet padding down from a wood floor?

I've pulled up most of the carpet and padding from the upstairs from our new/old home. The floors underneath are in pretty good shape, but around the perimeter of the rooms is a bit of glue. It's clearish, and looks more glossy that the wood and in some places is tacky to the touch. In some places there's still a little padding stuck to the glue. Any know successful methods (other than sandpaper/refinishing the floors)?

I found one thing online that said they had good luck using ammonia and water.

I forgot to take pics
