If you use my method the only thing you get filthy is your hands Come on Andy, you wouldn't expect me to make a mess all over my garden would you?

I do mine in the road, where the bike lives. And then wash the rest of the bike. That usually floats away the worst of the muck.

Maybe put a large cardboard box down or an old sheet, and a smaller box behind the swingarm. WD-40 is good for polishing off the back wheel and swingarm. Just not the tyre or back brake!

But if this thing actually works nearly as well as a toothbrush it's probably worth it.
