oh crap, cleaned the caliper guiding bolts with brake cleaner

I changed the rear brake pads and rotors. Unfortunately I cleaned the caliper guiding bolts (#6 in the diagram) using CRC brake parts cleaner which is also a degreaser. Should I grease them up or replace them with new ones? I don't want to risk the calipers seizing up due to lack of lubrication. If it's safe to grease them up, what grease to use?

Thanks for any pointers!
