I tried it, so you dont have to. But you'll probably want to.
I followed the instructions from this Silca video (except I wore PPE):

Even the 5th notoriously sticky factory greased SRAM chain came out dry to the touch after a water rinse from a batch of 150ml Silca chain stripper. Against their guidance I wont (responsibly) get rid of this batch just yet, I will see how well it does with a 6th chain.
The math comes out to ~£13 for 5 chain cleaned relatively faff free in an hour, and in the process I only create 150ml solvent waste. Consider me #influenced.
