A can of grease can be applied to grease any item. This protects them from rust and corrosion and also from grabbing attacks. A mind flayer can not attach its tentacles to a greased helmet, either.
The layer of grease is not permanent and it may wear off due to an attack, at which point you can choose to apply the can of grease to the item in question again.
Cursed cans will make your fingers greasy (a towel can be used to wipe them clean). You can grease your hands (should you wish to for some reason) with a non-cursed can by choosing "-" when prompted.
Grease is also useful for containers. A greased container will protect its contents from water damage. However, the water damage has a chance to dissolve the grease, at which point you must re-grease the container if you still want the protection. Oilskin sacks are like permanently-greased sacks.
The can may be recharged; see Charging#Can of grease for more details. The can may also be used to untrap squeaky boards.
