Best substance(s) and tools to keep my new bike clean?

[geopat]

I know this is a basic question but can someone recommend a fluid, tools and procedure for cleaning/lubricating a bike before putting it back in the shed for a week.

Used to just use a large terry towel on my old bike and took care to clean and lube the chain.

Anyway I really want to keep my 'dale looking as good as new as it needs to last a while.

Thanks all.

A lot of fellow parishioners hereabouts swear by Baby Wipes. They are cheap as chips, have some very mild solvent on them ( I think ), but most importantly, they are thin enough to get into tight spots like gear mechs and cassettes.

A product called 'Muc Off' gets good press as well. Highly recommended. But if its not too dirty, another vote here for baby wipes.

Baby wipes and mr.sheen and a duster are a revelation

Don't forget a can of GT85 the cyclists friend

I used Mr Sheen for the 1st time this weekend and my bike is still nice and shiny despite the weather Seems to stop a lot of the muck sticking.

Be careful, I think Muc Off is mildly acidic...... Don't leave on your bike for a long time !,
