I tried a citrus degreaser once. Smelled ******g horrible, gave me a migraine, and didn't seem terribly effective in this application - maybe it was just the brand/type that I used, though. I've only used mineral spirits and DNA, since. FWIW, on the MSW chain prep instructions, they do mention both citrus degreaser and acetone as alternatives - https://moltenspeedwax.com/pages/clean-your-chain
