Yes, any degreaser, that’s basically what they do.
Simplest effective bike cleaning regimen:
1. If dry, hose down to get it wet
2. Spray bike cleaner (Halfords is preferred, cheap and good) onto sponge, wipe over frame and wheels (optional, omit if not bothered)
3. Spray bike cleaner directly onto chain and into brakes
4. Hose again, directing spray into the chain to dislodge crud whilst rotating pedals backwards
5. Take the chain between your fingers and twist it – if it sounds gritty, repeat the application of cleaner and water
In case of a very cruddy chain, substitute spray-on de-greaser for general bike cleaner on the chain.
That’s all you need to know. Unless using Putoline of course.
