Kerosene is great for cleaning the chain. Pick up a big shallow aluminum pan to catch all the drippings. Dollar stores have them. As for lubing most folks go with chain wax or chain lube. I like Du Pont with teflon, works well and is a cleaner looking product after applied. Lube the side plates of the chain where the O-rings live. Both sides of the chain and a bit on the rollers themselves which will distribute the lube as you ride. If you are going to use a cleaning brush on the chain do not use anything metallic. You might damage the O-rings. A tooth brush or old soft narrow paint brush will do. And paper towels, you will make a mess first time round.
