I use an old washing up bowl, dish brush and white spirit - you don't need much. Thoroughly scrub the 4 'sides' of the chain. I do this every 4-6 weeks depending on motivation, I ride approx 130-140mi per week.
Generous drop of squirt to to the top of each roller, then use a dedicated SquirtRag™ (currently an old sock) to roll the rollers and spread out the wax over the inside of the chain. Gentle rub down with a different rag after every/every other ride to get rid of dirt. Reapply wax in the same way weekly.
