First, check the ground to the starter and confirm that you have power to the starter. If you do, the starter should work fine. Second, you can always remove the starter and check if the gear can spin and the spindle depresses at all. If not, replace the starter.

Can you clean oil of a starter safely and what chemical wont damage the starter?

As long as the engine is not running, you can wipe the starter casing down of any oil spilled on it.

Why wont the engine crank over on a 1994 Chevrolet s-10?

That's insufficient information. In general, "crank over" means that the starter is not turning the engine when you put the keyswitch to the "start" position. The starter can fail to engage because of a failed starter, solenoid, keyswitch, neutral lockout switch, faulty battery, failed alternator or just about anything that would drain the battery.
