Jack - my apologies for my incomplete advice. I didn't see your "on
the bike" pre-requisite.

I will now promptly ignore it again!

Sachs/SRAM chains with a powerlink are easy to put on and take off
(for most folks - some people do have some trouble.) I take mine off
every year and give it a very thorough cleaning. Outside of that, I
wipe/oil/wipe.

If you are going to get the most life out of your chain, wipe/oil/wipe
and forget about the cleaning gizmos.

I recommend against that method for the reasons explained in:
