You can use a base such as lye (sodium hydroxide) which is equivalent to a very harsh form of soap (it's not actually soap but it will react with the grease to form soap). However, unless the grease is truly horrible, you don't really need lye, you can just clean it with soap. I also recommend that you scrape off as much grease as possible - a spatula can be used for this purpose, especially a strong metal spatula - after which the residual grease can be easily washed away with soap.
