I live on a dirt road and my chain gets absolutely filthy in a hurry.

Using nothing but Honda chain cleaner and a garden hose, my chain when from this:

in 5 minutes!

Simply spray on the cleaner, wait a few minutes, and spray it off with a jet of water. It's amazing stuff.

Costs around $7 a can, and a can is probably good for 3 to 4 cleanings.

Pretty amazing difference

I used to use kerosene and an ol' men's cotton t-shirt. Apply kerosene and wipe off. Safe on the o-rings. I do this maybe twice a year, or more if it appears necessary.

Process time: About 60 seconds.

Lately I have been doing the same, but with WD-40. It is okay to use and a bit more convenient because it lubricates too. The gravity-fed chain auto-oiler does the rest.

The issue with detergent-based cleaners is possible environment impact. If that is important - for example the resultant run-off into your family vegetable garden - then that something to re-consider.

For the spray of water are you talking a garden hose or power washer?Dodgy
