Cleaning up

Hey folks! Just wandering if anyone could throw me a bone on the best way to clean grease/oil off tools when you're done with them. I just changed my oil and used shop rags to wipe off my tools and oil change pan when I was done. Any other ideas?

Watch out for the explosion possibility- but, spray them with cheap starting fluid. It gets the grease off of everything- like I said be careful where it may start fire/blow up though.

Brake cleaner is an excellent choice for cleaning many things in the shop.
