How do you clean a chain that has chunky grease/dirt buildup? (pawb.social)

Ideally without hazardous chemicals.

Does dish soap and hot water work?

I like to take a small container with a lid, throw the chain there with degreaser and shake the container for a minute, then let it soak overnight

Then just flush it under running water and wipe dry -> add new lubricant
