Friction Mount No Longer Sticking To Dashboard

Anyone know of a way to "revitalize" the silicone (I think that's what it is) bottom portion of a Garmin friction mount so it sticks to the dashboard better?
The friction portion of the mount (which is 7+ years old) now occasionally slides around on the dashboard when going around turns or stopping/accelerating. Looks like there might be dust and stuff on the silicone portion causing the mount to not have good contact with dash. So far haven't found a way to clean the friction mount.
Denatured alcohol is
Denatured alcohol is ethanol, aka ethyl alcohol, that has additives to discourage human consumption. Rubbing alcohol is isopropanol (aka isopropyl alcohol) High proof vodka (ethanol), the closer to 200 proof the better, will likely work as well if have any around. I've seen vodka as high as 192 proof (96% alcohol)
Burp!!
High-proof alcohols can legally go up to 192 proof in the United States. The strongest liquor you'll find on a shelf in the United States is the Polish vodka, Spirytus, coming in at 192 proof or 96 percent alcohol. For reference, this is an even higher alcohol content than Everclear, which contains 95 percent alcohol.
It is described on one website (an Illinois vendor) as
“Gentle smell and taste. Polmos Spirytus Rektyfikowany 192 Proof is made of premium ethyl alcohol with an agricultural cereal origin. It’s made in Poland and it's uses vary from preparing home-made fruit and herbal liqueurs, vodkas and desserts to medical purposes.
192 Proof / 96% ABV”
