Default what to do about the grease leaking from hood hinge and trunk hinge

So is it ok to clean that grease that comes out around where the hood hinge, door hinge, and trunk hinge bolt up. They leak grease, and I clean all the jams every week on the car, that gunk is pretty hard to wipe off.

Am I supposed to wipe it off? or am I supposed leave it for a reason?
