Bike cleaning basics

Ok, so now that i've got my new bike I thought i'd get stocked up on a few bits.
I was planning on washing it down with hot soapy water, rinsing it and then applying some WD40 to the chain and sprockets?
Done a quick search and it seems like I need to get some Fenwicks/Muc Off?
Does this look like a decent guide to follow?

oh and do NOT use WD40 buy some chain lube."Do not follow where the path may lead, Go instead where there is no path, and Leave a Trail."
