You can buy spray cleaners but I use kerosene, an old toothbrush, and a rag. It takes five minutes. Dip the toothbrush in the kerosene, scrub a short section of the chain, rotate the tire to get to the next section, and repeat. Then wipe down the chain with the rag. Remove the chain guard first (two screws) and it'll go even easier. Be sure to place something under the bike to catch the splatter. Once the chain has been cleaned, spritz on your favorite chain lube (Chain Wax is fine), let it set up for a few minutes, and you're done.
