Consider the source, since I make a chain lube, but I'm not a believer in the concept of combined cleaner lubes. IMO they work about as well as one size fits all clothing. But in all fairness, lots of folks are happy with them.

I don't think it's necessary to wash road chains whether with solvent, water and detergent, or those little chain washer gadgets. I'm not alone in that opinion, most of the chain makers recommend against washing their chains. Unless your chain is dirty to the point of sounding gritty, simply dry clean it as well as possible, by running it through a rag or paper towel, until it's as clean as you can get it, then lubricate with your favorite chain lube.
