Sepia Posted July 13, 2014 Posted July 13, 2014 (edited) Had a very dirty chain and ran out of cleaning stuff. Looked around and saw the toilet cleaning liquid. Put chain in a tin, diluted the cleaner with hot water, shook it around a bit, rinsed properly and dried with a rag = one shiny clean chain. It's a pleasure..............

GreatGusto Posted July 13, 2014 Posted July 13, 2014 The problem with unleaded petrol is ethical disposal. You cannot throw it out anywhere. ryanbritchford and nonky 2
porqui Posted July 14, 2014 Posted July 14, 2014 (edited) Just check that it is ammonia free - don't think your chain will take kindly to ammonia. I use terps in container that I can shake with the chain in. I re-use the same terps as the dirt settles in a day or so and the clean terps can be decanted. Edited July 14, 2014 by porqui johannrissik, nonky, Greybeard and 1 other 4

porqui Posted July 14, 2014 Posted July 14, 2014 (edited) Paraffin tends to leave an oily type residue whereas terps does not. Terps also dries much quicker. Edited July 14, 2014 by porqui gwhite 1
