I don't bother removing chains any more. Wipe (sometimes scrub with detergeant), lube, sorted.
As long as you don't let the chain wear too much it's less than a tenner to swap it and frankly my dears, I'd rather buy than remove, soak, refit, lube, etc.
This all the time.
Replaced every 1,500-2,000 miles and it'll be fine.
