I'm pretty sure that all alloy ladders go that way, I think it's the aluminum being oxidized. So even if you wash them give it a few weeks and they will be greasy again.

I had the same problem. I took them to the local garage car jet wash and cleaned it off with no problems

Thorough clean with soapy water. Don't forget inside the end of the rungs as these are often particularly greasy, and our fingers get in there too!!
