Hah. I tried that acetone + ATF mix and was not overly impressed indeed. Paint thinner + ATF might work better, I actually oil my bicycle chains with 50/50 paint thinner and motor oil. This has 2 effects:
- once the pain thinner evaporates only the oil is left behind and it is overall less messy
- oil tends to reach tighter places, which is important in an "open" chain (as opposed to o-ring sealed)
Onto toxicity of cleaners, read this. I do not guarantee it's not one of those internet hoaxes, and I don't quite want to find out.
