This is what I do, except I use paraffin instead of white spirit because I have a bigger bottle of that.
White spirit would probably have the benefit of evaporating off the chain a lot quicker, whereas paraffin tends to stick around and dilute whatever lube you useAn old 4pt plastic milk bottle does the trick just fine, btw

Put it in a robust plastic bottle such as an old bleach bottle, quarter fill with white spirit, shake like f**k, pour out the gunk into an other bottle. The gunk will settle out after a time and you can reuse the white spirit. Wipe and allow to dry.
