So I finally got an ultrasonic cleaners like this one:


2.5 Liter Ultrasonic Cleaner

I simply remove the chain (I use KMC Mssing Link) put the chain in the cleaner's basket and after a couple of minutes, Voila! a clean chain.

I use a mixture of water and Dawn dish detergent.

After removing the chain I thoroughly dry it, put it back on the bike using a new Missing Link, apply oil and I am good to go.

The ultrasonic cleaner is also good for cleaning cassette cogs and othe small bits.

Good luck.
