Brake squeal
 
While doing some lubricating I inadvertently applied oil to my rear brake and or caliper. Now when I brake it makes a horrendous squeal. Can I spray down the rotor and caliper with brake cleaner(automotive) to fix the problem? These are new juicy 5's BTW. Thanks.

remove the wheel, clean the rotor with the brake cleaner

don't touch the brake lever, clean the caliper, replace the pads

all the above assuming you're a diy'er, otherwise take it to the shop and fess up to your blunder. Hopefully you won't do it again.
