This is good basic practice: HOW TO WASH YOUR BIKE

I like to remove the wheels, one at a time, to clean them as well as inside the forks and the brake pads. I also use mineral spirits and a brush on the cassette followed by rinsing with water when I have the rear wheel off the bike.

For lubing the chain, here is an excellent proceedure from the Rock-N-Roll Lube website: ROCK "N" ROLL CHAIN LUBES

A FEW TIPS FOR USING ROCK "N" ROLL'S CHAIN LUBES
• Put the chain on the big ring in the front, and the small
cog on the back.
• Apply the lube on the chain, over the top of the cog. Let
a nice flow of lube go onto the chain (don’t be cheap). Remember you’re going to clean and lube the chain in
one step.
• Freewheel the chain backwards, and wipe off all of the dirt and grit that comes up to the surface of the chain. Keep in mind, you can’t wipe off the chain too much, so make that chain shine!
•Shift the chain off the big ring, so you can wipe off the chain ring, to clean up the little bit of residue left behind.
•For best results, allow your chain to sit a few hours or lube the night before. However, if right after lubing, you have
to ride, you have to ride, so go for it. Giving the lube a chance to set gives the lube a bit more life by allowing the protective membrane to fully set-up. Remember, to wipe
off you chain after riding regardless if you’re going to re-lube or not. This keeps the chain clean and looking great
