Wouldn't be a bad idea to wash the bike sometime after letting the lube settle down.
what i do is this:

1. Clean the chain with whatever - in this case kero
2. Wash the bike with carwash stuff or dish soap or whatever
3. Dry the bike
4. Ride the bike for 5-15 minutes to warm the chain
5. Lube the chain while it is warm

That way whatever degreaser, wd40, kero, etc. you use to clean the chain is throughly washed of the chain and the bike if some spills over.

If not sure test the kero on an inconspicuous spot like carpet cleaner (always says that on the bottle).
