Degreasing? Ain't nobody got time for that.
As noted above, you strip out all the lube from where you want it to be and then have to thoroughly rinse the degreaser off.
All this work, to end up back at square one with an unlubed chain: why would you want to do that?
Save yourself time and money by changing your chain more often, using cheaper chains and maintaining them with the "wipe-lube-wipe" method described above.
