Greased my bottom bracket and created a squeaky nightmare

I thought I was being smart last week on my 2018 Trek Domane. I slathered a ton of Park Tool poly grease on the bottom bracket threads before installing the new one. Figured more is better right? Well now every time I pedal standing up it sounds like a dying mouse under my bike. Turns out I got grease on the bearing seals somehow and its attracting every grain of dirt on the road. Anyone else accidentally over-lubed something and made the problem worse?

Did you try wiping the seals down with a rag and degreaser?

Wiping seals with degreaser? That’s wild.
