Best way to clean and lube a chain after a muddy ride?

After a muddy enduro my chain is a mess. What's the right cleaning + lubing routine so I don't wreck the O-rings?

Rinse with water (not a pressure washer up close), brush with a mild degreaser, dry, then lube — but only after the chain is dry so the lube sticks. O-ring chains: avoid harsh solvents that eat the rubber.
