I would shy away from WD40 to clean it.

WD40 swells the gasket which doesnt cause harm (or so they say) to the O ring in the chain, but even if it doesnt cause damage swelling and immediately wiping off then applying another lube is where the harm is. If you didnt wipe all the wd40 off, it will just eat the other lube which makes pointless. Im sure it wont cause short term damage, but in the long run

Stick with cheaper, easier to use, kerosene. If you ever repaint the bike too, your painter will thank you.
