My mother's claims the best thing is to put them in a sealed container with water and ammonia for a week. Then just wash them. I have not checked it out yet, due to ammonia being illegal in israel.

I soak them in the garbage can for a day, then in the dumpster outside for another day, then in a landfill for a year. And they're nice and shiny every year!

IME -
The best way to clean oil is by drying it away with a paper towel.
Water cannot clean oil. So first dry them down, wipe out all oil, then a simple rinse of water and soap will do the trick.
