All good advice but, you can even try a simplier solution that many pro wrenches use. Get a sponge and some degreasing dish soap like Dawn squirt some on the sponge and wrap the sponge around the chain and peddle backwards to clean the chain pretty well. Keep using a clean section of sponge until the chain is clean. I have used this as well as the park chain cleaning device and I would recommend using these solutions as opposed to breaking your chain frequently.
