I keep an old cat food can on my bench with a slosh or two of mineral spirits in it. When the quick links come off they go right into that can. I, then, know where both are and they come out clean. Down in the dungeons of my LBS all the new SRAM and KMC chains now come with quick links. They seem to believe in them and I've had no problems. I'm using them on 10 bikes.
