My brother bought a garage door opener lubrication kit. In the
instructions it says to remove the old grease but it does not say
how to remove it. What is the best way of removing old grease from
our garage door opener? We have some engine degreasing aerosol
cans. Would they be a good way to go? Thank you in advance for all
replies.

I'd wipe it down with kerosene


I'd use paper towels. Kerosene is a decent solvent, fairly non-toxic,
plus helps prevent rust. Dispose of the paper towels or rags wisely.

At Home Depot last year, in the cleaning department, I found something
called Just A Rag or a name close enough to that to make it easy to spot.
Made by Scott, big yellow box. They're VERY tough paper towels which are
much less likely to shred than the normal ones. Very handy.
