Answer Make sure the gun is not loaded, and insert something to keep the action open, for safety. Even though you're only cleaning, keep the muzzle pointed in the safest direction.
For a normal cleaning, where you're not stripping the gun, start by cleaning the action with the powder solvent and a small brush or toothbrush. Clean the bore with the powder solvent or the bore solvent, using the cleaning rod and wire scrubber. After that's done, then swab the bore with a little powder solvent and the white pads. After the white pad comes out fairly clean, lightly oil the bore and action with the gun oil. For the bore, use a white pad to apply the oil. For the action, use the brush. When finished, let the gun set over some newspaper for the excess oil to drain before putting the gun away.
