If you go to YouTube and watch a few different videos on how to clean firearms (even better if you can find videos on how to clean your specific firearm) then that should do you just fine for a visual walkthrough.
The basic steps are to field strip, use a solvent like Hoppes No. 9 to clean throughout the firearm, including the barrel (using patches, a tootbrush, a few q-tips, and a bore brush or bore snake), use lubricating oil at the recommended spots (making sure not to over oil as ClydeFrog said) and then reassemble.
I've found that an even easier way of cleaning is using products like Birchwood Casey's Gun Scrubber. My steps are to field strip, spray thoroughly using Gun Scrubber, scrub everything down with a toothbrush, use a q-tip to get into all of the small areas that crud likes to settle down into, respray with Gun Scrubber, and then oil the manufacturer's recommended spots, reassemble, and you're done.
One extra note: If you're using a semi-automatic, don't neglect your magazines either. Hope this helps you out.
