How do you clean a chain that has chunky grease/dirt buildup? (pawb.social)

Ideally without hazardous chemicals.

Does dish soap and hot water work?

Might want to consider wearing gloves in case there are any metal shavings embedded in the grease. I've neglected this before and found little steel shards in my hands for a week or so afterward.

Oh, I definitely will, thanks! Hopefully there won't be too many shavings.
