My favorite is a spray bottle of multi surface kitchen cleaner. 409 is good. Spray and brush with an old kitchen brush until theres no dirt. Then spray degreaser till it shines and ice wax.
If the price of gas keeps going up, I just may start washing the chains in Johny Walker Blue Label.
BTW, I've been using gasoline to wash car parts, motorcycle parts and bike parts for 25 years now. I haven't blown myself up yet, and its hardly brained my damage.
