First of all, are you properly rinsing and drying the chain after you wash it? If you lube a chain that hasn't been dried competely, inside and out, your newly applied lube will sit outside rather than penetrate to where it needs to be. Also, the cleaner is thin so the motion of the chain will force it out.
