I use WD40 or RP7 spray and a tooth brush to remove stubborn dirt.

Spraying can get messy if you’re not careful. Make sure to keep the the spray tip close to the cassette else you’ll find your spokes and tyre also kena degreased. To be kiasu, one can remove the rear wheel or use old newspaper to cover the tyre/spoke & other areas but that’s for those who are not lazy! I just placed a  recycled detergent container below to catch the dripping lubricant.

Lastly, use a cloth to wipe off excess lubricant between sprockets, derailleur, jockey wheels and other affected areas.
