Step 7
An even deeper clean
If you want to go one step further and really bring it back to looking packet fresh you will need to remove the chain from the bike before cleaning. This way you can put the entire chain in a cleaning bath and fully submerge it in a cleaning solution.
Putting the chain in a small jar or tub with warm soapy water is a good first step to prewash the chain. With the chain and the soapy water in the jar, refit the lid and shake it to agitate the dirt. Once this is done repeat the same again with degreaser. This step can be repeated as many times as necessary with the chain being brushed or wiped down with a cloth in between each cleaning cycle.
