John,
Wipe as much as you can with a rag. Then find an appropriate solvent:  
paraffin might work well. Then finish up with soap and water.
Then take your wheels off, clean the inner surface of the hub where  
the spokes 'begin' really well, and apply a clear silicone caulk to  
the 'top' of each spoke.

The caulk, if carefully applied to a clean surface, will prevent  
grease from exuding along the spokes.

Brian
