I used to use a chain cleaner, but apparently they can be counter-productive and actually drive dirt deeper into the rollers. The convenience is great, though. Now, I just wipe down the chain with a rag soaked with some degreaser, and then periodically remove the chain and clean with a degreaser and toothbrush. I do this more for my cx bike in the fall, as much as once a week depending on conditions, less for my road bike in the summer, maybe as little as once a month.
