I use kerosene to clean my chain. I don't know if it's true, but I've heard that WD-40 can damage the chain. But LOTS of people use WD-40, and I haven't heard any horror stories, so maybe it's fine. Kerosene works great, and is really cheap. I bought a 1 litre container of it a few years ago, and there is still loads of it left, and I clean and lube my chain at least every 500 miles.
