Most bike shops recommend that you purchase mechanical bicycle chain cleaners or pay their repair shop to clean dirty chains, but you can clean a chain simply and inexpensively using a wide mouth bottle, any degreasing dish soap, and a chain tool to break and rejoin the chain.
Outdoor activity blog Pig Monkey shares this method inspired by a method from bicycle technician Sheldon Brown. Break the chain using the chain tool ($7 at Amazon) and drop the chain into the wide-mouth bottle, add an ounce or so of the dish soap, and fill with water. Shake the bottle for a minute or so and let it set for 15 minutes. Then dump out the water and repeat until the water is clear. The author states it should take around 3 cycles.
