1 towel for grease?

A couple ideas.

I use paper towels or napkins to hold on to the chain when I am doing maintenance/repairs.

Another idea is to have some nitrile/latex gloves.

Napkins and paper towels are always along for a multitude of things in my gear list so that's generally what I use.

Another idea - you can get degreasing wipes. I am not sure if you are in the US or over-seas now. However, the paint department of Lowes and Home Depot here in the US sells degreasing wipes in a small bucket. Get you one and pack 10-15 of them in a couple zip-lock bags. Squeeze the air out and toss it in where ever. Just be careful to not puncture the bags. You don't want them drying out until after you use them.
