Not really, but if you are concerned about what to do with the solution once you finished cleaning the chain, you can do what I have done in the past. Take a 5 gallon, plastic bucket, fill it with sand and pour your solution into it. Leaving the bucket in a sunny area, without the lid, will dry the solution and you can reuse it as long as you like. Since I've switched from a wet lube to a dry lube (Squirt), I seldom use the chain scrubber but now I have to take the mineral spirits down to the dump for proper disposal when it get to where it's no longer effective.
