When I was riding a lot, I would clean my chain at least weekly. If it rained Saturday, I'd clean it on Saturday night as well. The secret is "Missing Links". These are little links that allow a chain to be removed, whenever. It is good to have a couple of extra links with you on the rides, just in case.
But with the easy removal and dropping in an ultrasonic cleaner, the chain becomes really clean every time. I used a "dry" lube, which was a dissolved wax. I only used "wet" lube on days it was raining. I had it down to cleaning the chain, rear sprockets and chain ring every week. This was when I was doing 120-150 miles per week.
