You are welcome. Here is my drivetrain cleaning:
1. after every ride wipe chain down with a shop towel (cleans off most dirt and sticky excess oil). Use some force and use the towel multiple times to get the chain from all directions.
2. every few days or weeks as needed I add some wet-lube. wipe of excess, and wipe it again before the next ride.
3. Every few rides I wipe off the little mud that collects at jockey wheels (should not be much if you follow step 1)

no water, no degreaser etc. Stays somewhat clean all the time and is always lubricated.

Only time I use water if it got muddy. Then I hose it down with garden hose (no pressure washer) and plain water before wiping with shop towel. But this is when the whole bike needs a wash anyway.

IMHO the chain is a cheap wear item ($14 for an 11-speed!) that you replace at 0.5% elongation. Which may be 3,000 miles or so depending on conditions. Even if all that religious chain cleaning would extend the life by 500 miles, is that really worth the time and cost of all the chemicals?

What you do with the degreaser is get all the lube out from where it is needed (the pins, rollers.. all wear surfaces). Then you add water. Unless you cook it out, the water stays and leaves a very thin micro-film. New oil may have a hard time migrating back where it is needed (no, it is not needed on the visible surface). Unless you do a 100% perfect job, you likely end up with more wear because water is a worse lubricant than oil. i know many people here swear by chain cleaning and rotating procedures. no one has to agree with me and to each their own. but IMHO at best it is a waste of time and material, at worst it shortens chain life.

Do you really think your chain had a longer life because you had it exposed to degreaser and water to the point it rusted?
