Simple green every few rides seems like overkill. A dry clean rag is all you need for weekly maintenance. Just be sure to get the cogs and chainrings well, the lube itself seems to do a good job of getting a lot of the gunk out. If you're careful you can wrap the chainring with a good toilet paper to help soak it all up. I use wet lube to get through a salty Chicago winter and never have any real chain issues.
