Cleaning chains

[Tommywommy]

What can I soak chains in to clean them up after cutting / logging ash trees all day. Tar like crap stuck to chains on both saws , goes black once it cools down. Any help appreciated.

Don't worry about it, it'll all come off when you cut something else!

Yeah I wouldn't bother cleaning them either.

Never cleaned a chain in my life and don't know anyone who has. As above don't bother.
