Two words: isopropyl alcohol. Dab some on a cotton swab and clean around the analog sticks. That should do the trick.

Remove the thumbsticks and soak them in warm soapy water for a few minutes. Rinse, dry thoroughly, and reassemble. Works like a charm!
I had the same issue. Turn it off, get a can of compressed air, and blast around the sticks. Follow up with a gentle wipe down using an alcohol-soaked cloth. Good as new!
First, turn off your PS3 and remove the controller. Use a microfiber cloth with a bit of rubbing alcohol to gently clean the area around the analog sticks. If it's still sticky, you might need to open the controller and clean inside. Just be careful with those tiny screws!
Just buy a new controller. Trust me, it's less hassle and you get that fresh feel!
