The only thing that I could think of is thinners but what it would do to the material I don't know.

Be VERY careful with thinners, especially acrylic. Try a little bit WITH a bit of oil on the rag. Try a test spot first to make sure it doesnt damage the trim.
Not all chemicals are bad. Without chemicals such as hydrogen and
oxygen, for example, there would be no way to make water, a vital
ingredient in beer
