I remove the chain and give it a good shake in an empty coke bottle with some finish line citrus degreaser. Then it gets a scrub with a brush and a good rinse out under hot water. Dried off with a towel then a squirt with some WD40 to get rid of any remaining moisture before back on the bike and a proper lube with some Finish LIne Teflon or Cross Country, depending on the weather.
