For this reason, exactly, there are many <a href=\"https:\/\/gunloading.com\/best-ultrasonic-gun-cleaner\/\">ultrasonic gun cleaner<\/a> available in the market, and you may also go to a service center.<\/p><p>However, none of that is truly necessary as you can easily clean them yourself at home! Keep reading to know how.<\/p><h2><strong>What You Will Need<\/strong><\/h2><p>Before you start the cleaning process, make sure you have these things:<\/p><ul><li>Paper towels or cleaning cloths<\/li><li>Scissors or a knife<\/li><li>A rod or stick that is thin enough to fit into the gun\u2019s barrel<\/li><li>Gun oil or any other lubricants<\/li><\/ul><p>You may also want to invest in a rifle cleaning mat in order to protect the table or surface you will be working on. Designed specifically for cleaning guns, these are leak-proof and easy to clean. The mats are big and spacious for all your gun components and cleaning solvents.<\/p><h2><strong>Household Cleaning Solvents<\/strong><\/h2><p>One of the obvious choices is using any lubricant oil. These are commonly used for vehicles in order for them to run smoothly.<\/p><p>Apart from that, some of the other household items that can be used for cleaning solvents may be:<\/p><p><strong> <img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright size-medium wp-image-1554\" src=\"https:\/\/gunloading.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/Easy-rust-removal-with-vinegar-300x169.jpg\" alt=\"cleaning gun with vinegar\" width=\"300\" height=\"169\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gunloading.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/Easy-rust-removal-with-vinegar-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/gunloading.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/Easy-rust-removal-with-vinegar-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/gunloading.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/Easy-rust-removal-with-vinegar.jpg 853w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/>Transmission Oil: <\/strong>Gearboxes need transmission oil for functioning, and they have the same impurities as a gun. Therefore, it works as a great cleaning agent for your guns.<\/p><p><strong>Kerosene:<\/strong> Kerosene that is regularly used around the house, is also another great option. You might want to opt for 1-k Kerosene due to the lower amount of sulphur present, or Red kerosene, which is the purest form.<\/p><p>Any other cheap <strong>mineral spirits<\/strong>.<\/p><p><strong>Vinegar:<\/strong> Vinegar is acidic and has de-oxidizing properties that help to fix and melt rust.<\/p><p>You can either use the liquids on their own or make a combination of transmission oil, kerosene, and any other mineral spirits. Just make sure to give it a good mix before use.<\/p><p>If you are not comfortable using vinegar, then don\u2019t. However, don\u2019t try to substitute any of the solutions mentioned above with ammonia.<\/p><h2><strong>How to Clean a Gun<\/strong><\/h2><p>While the cleaning process itself \u00a0isn\u2019t time-consuming, you need to make sure that you do so very carefully. Remove all potential distractions before you start the process of cleaning your gun.<\/p><p><strong>Step 1:<\/strong> Prepare the area before you start by taking the rifle cleaning mat and setting it on your table.<\/p><p><strong>Step 2:<\/strong> Make sure your gun is unloaded and bullet free before you continue.<\/p><p><strong>Step 3:<\/strong> Completely disassemble the gun and separate all the parts so that you can take a closer look and clean them easily. Clean the bolt, chamber, and barrel thoroughly.<\/p><p><strong>Step 4:<\/strong> Take the cleaning cloth and cut them into pieces small enough to fit into the barrel.<\/p><p><strong>Step 5:<\/strong> From the remaining cloth, clean the other components with either gun oil\/lubricant, or any of the cleaning solvents mentioned above.<\/p><p><strong>Step 6:<\/strong> \u00a0Taking the cloth containing the cleaning solution, wipe the barrel until it is sparkly clean. Keep wiping until all the dirt and residue is gone.<\/p><p><strong>Step 7:<\/strong> Soak the smaller pieces of cloth you cut earlier with the cleaning solution and insert them into the chamber with a thin rod or stick. Take them out with the rod as well. Continue this process until all the dirt comes off, and the cloth comes out clean.<\/p><p><strong>Step 8:<\/strong> You might find some residue from the oil or cleaning solution on both the interior and exterior. Wipe it away with a clean cloth.<\/p><p><strong>Step 9:<\/strong> By now, all the components should be looking good as new. Take time to assemble the gun correctly and check to see it functions as it should while unloaded.<\/p><p><strong>Related Buying Guide:<\/strong><\/p><ul><li><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><span style=\"color: #0000ff; text-decoration: underline;\"><a style=\"color: #0000ff; text-decoration: underline;\" href=\"https:\/\/gunloading.com\/best-gun-cleaning-rod\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Best Gun Cleaning Rod Reviews<\/a><\/span><\/span><\/li><li><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/gunloading.com\/best-gun-cleaning-solvents-and-oils\/\">Best Gun Cleaning Solvents and Oils<\/a><\/span><\/li><\/ul><h2><strong>Some Precautions to Take<\/strong><\/h2><p>While the process is pretty easy and straightforward, there are some precautions you must take before cleaning your gun with household items.<\/p><ul><li>Do not use oil that is meant for regular use.
