I don't buy any disposable product for cleaning my bike chain. I have found that old terrycloth towels are the best thing to clean chains. They are absorbent and the nap of the towel gets well in between chain links. One facecloth sized piece of towel can be used many times after having been used many times before for many other things. I used to use old towels to dry my car after having washed it, this after years of use drying me off after a shower. They were also great for washing windows, could be used many times for that. Once they became more frayed, I would cut them up to clean my bike chains, they wore much better than a plain rag. Once they are saturated with dirt and oil from chain cleaning, it is time to dispose of them. I would never buy a one time use product for wiping my bike chain
