I use Goop hand cleaner, followed by ordinary soap and water.  The Goop
loosens up the grease, the soap washes it away.  Seems to work best if you
*don't* wet your hands before using the Goop.

Goop is also reasonably effective as a pretreatment for grease stains on
clothing.

If Goop isn't available (maybe you're out on the road), WD-40 works too,
but I've never figured putting that stuff on my hands was a great idea.
