ok so i have never cleaned the muc off chain cleaning device, its covered in oil, grease horrible to hold and no doubt the bristles inside are in a bad state, whats the best way of getting this like new, assuming you can of course get all the crap off them? should have stayed on top of it, and dont fancy shelling out for a new one ๐Ÿ™

fill it with degreaser, give it a quick spin with your fingers and a good rinse out with a hose.

It's all I've ever done with mine and my chain still cleans up well.

It's like having to clean towels; how can a device that is only ever used with loads of degreaser ever get greasy? The universe is broken.

Lovely thick gloopy stuff, works really well.
