Then try cleaning it with Kerosine, its great stuff, takes a little time with the old brush and stinks a bit. But it shifts the rubbish from you chain just great. And if you have the time to remove your wheel and soak the chain in a tub of the stuff then it will even shift all the rubbish that gets in parts that a brush just can't reach.
Once your done just wash down with some warm water a few times, let it dry a bit, take the bike for a quick run to warm up the chain and then lube (with a non-fling lube). Leave over night (couple of hours) and in the morning you should be able to go out and get no fling from your chain. Then just remember to re-lube when you get in, before the chain cools down, every 100 miles or so.
You should be able to get Kerosine from your local hardware store, though sometimes it is a bit of challenge. If you can't get Kero, the Paraffin should work but I'm not sure if it would be to the same quality.
As recommend to me by a army tank mechanic mate of mine, and I've tried and tested it on mine. I'm well happy, my chains gone from brown back to its original gold and the rollers and everything move freely about now. Sweet.
