Hand over 1/3 cost of a new chain for degreaser.
Ride home, stopping for an ice cream cause its pretty hot out.
Fill park tool chain cleaner.
Note spongy thing is kinda falling apart and wonder if the LBS can get one in.
Clean chain anyway.
Dump excess degreaser stuff in drain.
Wipe down chain tool cleaner. Note stuff is still dripping out.
Store in bucket.
wipe chain, lube chain, ride(if you can be bothered after all that).
You left out "Break plastic chain tool cleaner after 3rd use, even though you've tried to handle it like a piece of fine china."

Those things are craptacular. I've had a Park and a Pedro's. They're both junk waiting to happen.
