I’ve been using the Silca Super Secret, too. My cleaning process included just a good shake and soak in Muc-Off Drivetain Cleaner, and a water rinse. So far, I really like the lube (quiet!), and the fact that my drivetrains stay so much cleaner.

That said, I’m a little worried that SSS is the gateway drug to hardcore waxing, and a paraffin dependency problem.
