Cheap and easy way:

Use a strap around the front brake lever to hold it on full.
Turn steering to left.
Kneel down next to RHS of bike.
Push up on the tank - this will bring the rear up in the air.
Put a hammer or simialr length strong item between the rear of the swinging arm and the ground.
This will hold the bike plently steady enough to clean the chain etc....
