Though in the past I have used both kerosene or WD40 to clean my chains, I have been using WD40 pretty much exclusively for the past 5 years or so.
A good slathering, and a thorough wipe down with a couple of shop rags get the chain nice and clean.
Periodic cleaning is very important, we don't want the chain get past the point of no return. I have a friend so anal that he cleans his after every ride, but his chains last seemingly forever
Enjoy this relatively interesting o-ring longevity comparison, which essentially mirrors the Motorcyclist magazine sidebar in the current issue

Along with my targeted technique of lubing the clean chain using synthetic motor oil and the syringe method in order to control the quantity and where the lubricant goes, I'm routinely getting 30k or so of chain life.
