Bananas. Grease would work, but then you would have grease between the bars and the stem. However, bananas will work just like grease, but will wash off with water.

By the way, I have not tested this idea. I know that it was used to launch the underwater observation room at Homosassa Springs, so the spring would not be contaminated.
