I re-ordered the Park Tools citrus chain cleaner to go in the CM5 cleaning kit a few times, then tried Muc Off. Maybe my chains are not as greasy as everyone elses, but this stuff works just as good as the Park Tools cleaner, but much cheaper (5 litre bottle).

It may be a bit thin for that purpose I would buy a more aggressive cleaning agent.
answer 4
i was asking a ex professional cyclist what he used to clean chains, (he also owned a bike shop for 20 years) and he advised me to use some petrol with a little 2 stroke oil poured into it, i tried this and my chean is sparkling clean, never squeeks, and seems to stay clean for longer than when i use the muckoff stuff. if not use fairy liquid in warm water, i does the job well, but the petrol is the best.

You'd be much better off using a dedicated degreaser/chain cleaner for that job, this is more aimed and suited for general cleaning from my experience of using it.

It may clean the chain a little bit - not sure how well - but I would always use a dedicated degreaser for the chain as they are so greasy.

use citrus degreaser for that diluted 1:1 with water (warm water seems to work the best). This stuff works best on normal grime and won't cut through grease well enough to do a chain in my experience.

If you don't dilute the fluid you can use it as a chain cleaner but you should really use a specific chain degreaser product as linked below.
