- 1). Rub dry paper towels over the oil to absorb as much as possible. Discard the towels when they are soaked through. Apply new ones until you've absorbed as much oil as you can.
- 2). Apply a commercial degreaser or a degreasing liquid dish detergent directly to the oily area. Wait a few moments (up to 15 minutes, depending on the product you use) and wipe it off with more paper towels.
- 3). Dampen a sponge in warm water. Pour a dime-sized (or larger) drop of liquid dish detergent on this sponge.
- 4). Scrub the metal with the damp soapy sponge. Completely clean off remaining oil and degreasing product (if used) residue.
- 5). Wipe the metal with a clean cloth, drying it thoroughly so that it will not rust.
