Choosing a suitable place
Your first step is finding a suitable place for cleaning your gun. The first criterion for such a place is it must be a well-ventilated place. Do not clean your gun in a room where all doors and windows are closed. The place needs to be well-ventilated because the gun cleaning process requires the use of chemical solvents which sometimes release toxic fumes that are harmful to health. Another important thing about the cleaning area is making sure that no pet or kid has easy access to the place.

Disassembling the gun
You must empty the gun chamber before disassembling the gun to prevent any type of disastrous incident like accidental shooting. There are instances of accidental shooting where people sustain life-threatening injuries while cleaning a gun. To ensure full safety go through the gun manual provided by the manufacturer meticulously about the disassembling process of the gun. If you are not comfortable with the process, there is no harm to seek help from a gun expert to disassemble the gun. Disassembling every possible part of the gun will greatly facilitate your gun cleaning process.  

Cleaning the barrel
A barrel is the part of a gun where all the dust and debris of a bullet accumulates inside the gun. So,  cleaning this part is essentially cleaning the gun. One essential component of a gun cleaning kit is a bore brush. Clean the barrel with this bore brush.
