- and use a dog fang or chain catcher, especially if you've got a carbon frame.

That is most assuredly a pointed bicycle accessory.

Adjust your gears correctly. Don't change on the front while cross-chaining (or don't cross-chain in the first place). Then you won't need anything at all because your chain will not come off.

In the very unlikely event that you do drop your chain, use your front mech to put it back on. No need to stop, no dirty fingers.

And should you really need to, just pick it up with your fingers and then wipe them on your shorts ffs.
