It depend on structure of the grease smudge. I would try petrol and purified kerosene first
Suzuki GSX400SSN '93
Honda GL1200 '86
and 4 cats...

i would use thinners as it is clear,petrol always leaves a stain.
to prevent this from happening again,tell the mrs to wipe her feet first or take her shoes off:lol:
