chain cleaner

my cycle chain has been dirty for a while and I cleaned it with a nylon brush, but it just doesn't seem to do the trick. I got some grunge buster degreaser and it cleaned up pretty well. the issue now is the chain has a little side to side movement that I am not sure about.

Simple green in a bucket works fine.

I've heard of the o-rings crumbling, so I guess you could check to see if yours are intact. Perhaps the chain is shot, hence the excessive movement?
