Chain Scrubber refills

Sure you can use it. Any commercial citrus degreaser that is intended for chain cleaning is OK to use in the Park CM-5 chain scrubber.

Thanks. One more question - is the idea to re-use the degreaser? Seems awefully wasteful to chuck it each time, is filtering the gunk out an option? I seem to be out riding in the wet a lot at the moment, which is leading to a lot of degreasing!

To filter the cleaning sol'n/degreaser: put the dirty stuff in a can; let it set for a few days; then pour off the clean stuff on top into a different container. Mineral spirits are a great, cheap solution and can be stretched a long way using as I described.

Thanks.

Mineral Spirits? You mean instead of using Citris Degreaser, just use Mineral Spirits? And then re-use that - now that does make for a cheap solution!

It's certainly an option as mineral spirits are a great solvent and cheap. Of course, no matter which you use, make sure to dispose of the dirty kack in the bottom properly.
