Dont take your chain off and soak it. It removes the injected grease from the bushings and they get really noisy. A spray of de-greaser and a good wipe/scrub does the trick. If you have a compressor a blast from that pushes out all the stubborn stuff between the plates too!
I find it much more important to properly clean chainrings though.
