An old cloth sometimes to run the chain through to remove most surface gunk other wise just an oil up and a thin pick to clean between gears on the cassettes. I have 5 bikes and have only replaced 2 chains on all of them in the past 5 years.
What kind of mileage are you doing on them?
I just opted for this lube

I'm a trendy consumer. Just look at my wobbly bog brush using hovercraft full of eels
