    Kerosene destroy an el cheapo toothbrush i used. The kero ate everything. I just used a rag and it ended up being way faster and cleaner.

    Just use worn out normal toothbrushes. Never had a problem with them falling apart with kero.

    It takes a bit of time but they are the only thing to flick the dirt out. Douse a particularly dirty chain (dirtbike) & leave overnight & reclean. If using a rag at any stage you can risk getting pulled into the sprocket. only spin wheel backward.
    Don't you look at my accountant.
    He's the only one I've got.

    Never had a problem with kero and toothbrushes here, but I retire them when they get too manky, which doesn't take too long.
