I was hesistant to get one, but Park Tool's Chain Gang Cyclone chain cleaner has been amazing. I thought I was doing a good job cleaning my chain by hand with shop towels, but it it took four cycles of regular dawn dish soap before the water in the Cyclone didn't turn black. Chain looks brand new. I also do a waterless clean on the rest of the bike, wiping it down with shop towels, an old brush, and a soapy solution.
