Clean tyres don’t slip so I guess you’re asking whether the cleaner itself will remain on the tyre. I was going to say no, it’s all highly volatile solvents, but looking at the safety data sheet for WD40 chain cleaners (for example), section 3 shows it is >80% non-hazardous ingredients (the rest is solvents, propellants and detergents). What the heck could that 80% consist of?
I just wipe the lubricant (gear oil) off the edge of the tyre with a dry rag, then go easy on the first few corners, just in case. What little remains soon scrubs off. |

If I'm concerned about some sort of contaminant on a tyre I just give it a wipe over with some solvent - usually isopropanol or brake cleaner. I usually have plenty of each laying around.
Stinkwheel's suggestion of hot soapy water and a rinse is, of course, the right way to proceed. |
