Cleaning and lubricating a chain?

[Globalti]

As a mountain biker I often removed the chain and cleaned it in white spirit or paraffin before drying and re-lubing but since going over to the cleaner joys of road riding I've started Mickling, with an occasional wash with hot soapy water if it's really dirty. The most useful thing is a fluffy microfibre cloth for cleaning and drying.

Ok so it's a high class chain valet service I offer to the most discerning cyclist clients. I arrive at your house in my pedal powered mobile service unit and dismantle your chain (or chains) into its individual components. I wash the chain in Dr Bronners organic soap, I polish each part to a high sheen, coating each part with my proprietary 'Mickle's Supa Loob' (a secret blend of polytetraflouroethylene, graphite, dihydrogen oxide and whale oil) before reassembling it and reinstalling it on the bike. I charge just £5* plus materials.
