Grease burns. It's animal fat and animal fat is a decent fuel source. If the PCs are savvy, they might use the spell to fuel their lamps or other light sources.
Getting rid of grease is difficult. It's best to just move out of the area it is in. If it's cast on you, you should get a save to avoid. Ditto on Item saves.
Natural degreasers likely to be plentiful in a Medieval setting include: Vinegar and Ammonia. Vinegar can be found in soured alcohol and Ammonia in urine. These stink like mad, but they should remove any grease problems when applied liberally.
The hard part about spells in Pathfinder and 3.x is they often are turned into unlimited resources, which quickly over match even common retardants to spell effects on the world. While Grease is a 1st level spell in PF it is still likely to have multiple uses a day with as many spells as casters receive. You could even change it to include people though. It's real drawback is its very limited duration until it disappears. It has little affect on the game beyond combat.
