Fenwick's Foaming Chain Cleaner 500ml is a biodegradable, solvent-free foaming formula designed to make chain and drivetrain cleaning a quick, integrated part of your regular bike wash rather than a separate, time-consuming task. The foam clings to the chain, cassette, jockey wheels, and chainset, penetrating and lifting grime before rinsing away cleanly — no chain bath required, no harsh chemicals, and no mess. At just 5–10ml per use, the 500ml bottle provides up to 100 cleaning sessions, making it one of the most economical chain cleaners available.
The formula is completely free from solvents and acids, making it safe for the full range of drivetrain and frame materials: anodised metals, carbon, plastics, rubber, and painted surfaces. This is the same Foaming Chain Cleaner included in the Fenwick's Drivetrain Cleaning Kit, available here as a standalone 500ml bottle for riders who want to replenish their supply or use it independently. For best results, pair it with the Fenwick's Chain Cleaning Sponge and Gear Cleaning Brush (both included in the Drivetrain Cleaning Kit) to clean all four sides of the chain and reach into cassette sprockets and derailleur jockey wheels.
After cleaning, re-lube the chain with a dedicated chain lube before riding — see the Fenwick's Professional Chain Lube or All Conditions Chain Lube. Browse the full Fenwick's range or our workshop and maintenance collection.
How do I use the Foaming Chain Cleaner?
Apply 5–10ml of foam directly to the chain while backpedalling slowly, working around the full length of the chain. Allow the foam to dwell for a minute to penetrate and lift grime. Use the Chain Cleaning Sponge to clean all four sides of the chain, and the Gear Brush to clean the cassette and jockey wheels. Rinse thoroughly with clean water, allow to dry, then re-lube the chain before riding.
Do I need a chain bath to use this?
No — the foaming formula is designed to be applied directly to the chain on the bike, making a separate chain bath unnecessary for regular maintenance cleaning. For very heavily soiled drivetrains, a chain bath with the Bike Cleaner Concentrate used neat may give better results, but for regular cleaning the foam is sufficient.
How many uses does a 500ml bottle provide?
At 5–10ml per cleaning session, a 500ml bottle provides between 50 and 100 cleaning sessions — enough for a full season of regular maintenance for most cyclists.
Is it the same formula as in the Drivetrain Cleaning Kit?
Yes — this is the same Foaming Chain Cleaner included in the Fenwick's Drivetrain Cleaning Kit, available here as a standalone 500ml bottle for replenishing your supply without purchasing the full kit again.
