How can you remove linseed oil from metal?

Linseed oil will not react with or even penetrate most metal. Wipe the metal down with something soft and absorbent (paper towels are tailor made for applications like this) until all of the oil has been removed. (A film of oil will remain.) Take a clean piece of towel and splash on a little rubbing alcohol and finish up the wipe down. The alcohol acts as a solvent and should remove the remaining film of oil from the metal. If not, once more for full effect. Be careful not to spill the alcohol on stuff, and avoid smearing the oil over adjacent surfaces when wiping and when doing the final mopping up. Dispose of materials used in cleaning with appropriate care and consideration.
